Probably a very newbie question but I have a kitchen tap that leaks water out of sides, if the tap is open.
Just not sure if I need to change the whole tap or can it be opened and it just needs a new washer or seal or something.
I got advised by someone to replace the hot/cold mixer cartridge within the tap, so I did, but that did not change the leaking out of the sides.
Here is a video of how it looks like https://www.dropbox.com/s/t4dqk3dsf9hysp9/VID_20201106_110325.mp4?dl=0

Have also attached pictures of the tap where you can see the water leaking.

The o-rings for the spout are worn out and probably the main cartridge. It not a difficult repair. Just need the brand type and get replacements.
