I have a two-handle bath faucet, it leaks underneath the faucet base, and drips heavily into the cabinet below when I turn the hot side on. I have taken it apart and it is plastic insides with rubber rings, and the rubber plug at bottom with spring inside. I think it's standard.
I've done a search
Does this sound right? Will replacing rubber the components be enough?
"If you see water coming from below the handle, the packing nut is leaking. Older faucets have a string-like graphite packing material wrapped around the stem. Newer faucets use an O-ring. First try tightening the packing nut clockwise... about one-half turn. If this doesn't stop the leak, remove the packing nut and replace the packing or O-ring; then reassemble the faucet. "
TIA,
Molo
