I have a 2 handle brass laundry faucet that leaks around the spout when
it's swiveled from one tub to the other. There appears to be nut holding
the spout to the base. The spout has some play. Can the faucet leak be
repaired ?

If while playing with your spout, it starts to leak, then you have a
problem with your nuts. If you're shaking it more than twice, then you're
playing with it!
