    its a standard stop tap, that first nut coming down the spindle is the gland nut, back it off ( no need to isolate the water) then wrap ptfe round the spindle, pack it down inside and redo the gland nut up, that'll stop it leaking,

    Well it looks the type to use a 'rubber' washer, so guess it's time to take apart and have a look.

    Mr. HandyAndy - Really
