There is a leak from the cold water handle in my shower, during showering only. Is that the washer or the seat? Thank you.

It may be the packing. It's hard to say without knowing the make and modle of faucet. Give more specifics and someone can respond back to you.

Mr. Plumber;
Sorry, I have no idea of the make. I guess I'll just have to take it apart, and looksee. Thanks for your answer.

If you can take a picture and post it I can look at my Mark's Plumbing catalog(GREAT COMPANY) and give more detail. GOOD LOOK!

Its a lock!
There is no debate that it is the packing. What is debatable is whether it can be tightened or has to be replaced.
