Outdoor water spicket repair

There is a broken water spicket on our front porch.
it is spitting water out of and behind the siding, so we had to shut all
of our
water off. We don't have the money to hire a plumber to tear up our siding
to fix
it, and then hire another person to replace the siding. Suggestions,
anybody?
....
Pay them some now or pay them (and others) more later.
Meanwhile, get to the pipe leading to the spigot (there's no such thing
as a "spicket") by whatever means is necessary and cap the pipe by
whatever is appropriate (that depends on whether it's galvanized,
copper, plastic, ...)
If you don't have a clue how to do that and there's not a cutoff to
isolate the leak, you have really no choice but to call the plumber.
