I have the same exact issue. I have glacier by bathroom sink faucet. Any resolution to this?
1.
Try tightening the lift rod nut. 2. Then try to get a new lift rod assy.
3. Then use their warranty. I presume they are warrantied for life but IDK.

Does anyone know if my posts ever show up over there?

Thanks, I never go to the (site). I guess that is how one finds out how old it
is... I often wonder how poster were able to see the age. Thanks, Dean

I am curious as to how the water is actually getting there. No one is more
sloppy than me and my Moen doesn't display any signs of this. I don't recall
any kind of seal on the lift rod itself.

It's not the lift rod seal that's leaking. That is at the drain pipe. The OP is
talking about water running down the lift rod that goes up to the handle
at the faucet.

I addressed this in an earlier post. The water is coming down from the top of
the pop up to a 'bracket' to the lift rod. I don't believe there is a seal for
the pop up. Terminology torsion~~

They described it as water running down the lift rod. The one's I've seen,
there is no bracket, it's just a rod that goes from the knob at the faucet
straight down to the lift mechanism on the drain pipe. At that point
there is a metal arm with a seal that goes into the drain pipe to lift it.
If water is running down the rod, it's coming from near the top, where
the faucets are, either from water pooling around the faucets or a fresh
water leak.
