If so, sounds like you really do need a new washer as sealing the threads
will not do much good. No hardware store nearby - or neighbours?
That is it. I thought I'd need to do that, but I wasn't able to find
a replacement washer (at least at the local Ace) and I am trying to not
replace the whole thing if I can get around for the reasons above.
