HI Ed,
Could you point me to the location where
I can fin information on how to change the valve stem
you were talking about? frankly, I don't even
know which/where the valve is located.

Thanks,

The valve stem is the part attached to the hand you turn to open the faucet.
Inside, there is a seal, or washer, on the bottom that goes up against a
seat so water cannot pass. The washers wear out, compress, or sometimes
loosen and vibrate when water passes over them.

One of these may help
