I replaced one of my sprinkler head and my problem is that water

Depends where it's leaking from. If it's the thread/nipple
connection, use some Teflon tape and see if it fixes it.

I'm talking lawn system here, but if the zone control valve turns off
the zone should not constantly have water for a leak...
