I have an older (8 yrs+?) Delta single handle faucet system that began leaking profusely last evening (wife & I were out & somehow the babysitter & my 2.5 year old managed to do something when having her bath). A large amount of water is coming out from the tub spigot (not shower) when the faucet handle is in the off position.
When I exert inward & downward pressure on the handle the leak will stop - but when pressure is released it begins again. Any help on starting points, diagnosis / repair approach would be appreciated.
Basis surfing on this site & Delta's site show I might need to replace the Seats & Springs &/or the Cam & Packing mechanisms. . . are these replacement parts generally available at HD or Lowes? (Assuming I can determine the model)
