One of the faucets to the hoses of our washing machine started
leaking.

I tightened the nut on the top and it almost quit leaking. A little
water forms on the outside but not enough to drip. It seems OK for
the time being.

My thanks to everyone who helped,

See how to repack the stem:

I had a hose bib I could not get to stop and I did not want to solder
a new one on copper, I bought a new bib and cannibalized the stem and
packing from it. 5 minute job.
