    You have a valve leak, take off the handle, the screw you just removed was attached to the valve you need to replace, after the handle is off you can unscrew the nut and pull out the valve. There is a right and wrong way to put it back in so just check and see that the holes on in the right place. This part isn't very expensive, good luck , nichols trim
