If your kitchen faucet is leaking around the base, you should first shut off the hot and cold water supply valves underneath the sink. Next, check the mounting nut underneath to ensure it is tight; if the nut is secure but water still escapes when the faucet runs, the internal O-rings or spout seals are worn out and must be replaced. Callout type="warning" title="Hygiene Warning": Shut off the water supply valves under the sink before disassembling any parts. Verification: Turn the water supply back on and inspect the base while running the faucet to confirm the leak is gone.
