Leak at Spout
Problem: It is leaking/ dripping from the spout when I turn off the water
Solution: Clean Cartridges Gasket
Remove Cartridge
Let's start by going under your countertop and turning off the water to your faucet at the angle stops. Next, we'll remove the cartridge by taking off the faucet's handle(s). Using a 3/32 Allen wrench, you will undo the set screw(s) then remove the dome cap by unthreading it counter-clockwise. Finally, remove the retainer ring by unthreading it counterclockwise.
Clean Gaskets then Re-install the Cartridge
Using a soft damp cloth, wipe down the cartridge gaskets to remove any debris.
Reinstall the cartridge by reversing the first steps.
Test for Leak
Turn your water back on and check if the dripping has stopped. If it has not, it may be time for a new cartridge.

Leak Under the Counter
Problem: It is leaking/ dripping under the sink
Diagnose location
Let's see where your leak is coming from first.
Leaking at angle stops
Try to tighten the supply lines to the faucet to see if that helps. Using a crescent wrench, twist the quick connects clock-wise to ensure a secure fit.
Leaking from Hose
If the hose is leaking from it's lining, you may need a new hose.
Leaking at the underbody
Make sure the connections are tight and secure to the countertop
For pull outs and pull down faucets, pull down on the spray hose connection to the faucet (or tighten this connection if yours is threaded on) and make sure it will not disconnet and is secured/tight. For a two handle or single control faucets with a sidespray, pull down on the sidespray hose and make sure the diverter connection will not disconnect and is secured/tight.
Check Connectors
If the connections are tight and water is still leaking, you may need a new hose.
