Mixer tap leaking from the bottom of the spout.

Mine does that and there isn't any grub screw.

Mine (made by Swan) too. It has been leaking badly for the last couple
of years.

I read somewhere that when there's no grub screw you can pull the spout
off if you pointed it 'east' or 'west' (ie above the knobs), but I don't
know if it's true, and I haven't had the courage to try it. I certainly
don't want to do it before I have a set of suitable rubber O-rings (the
present ones must be totally wrecked) - but I can't find any definitive
source. [I doubt if they all a standard size.] I can't even find any
reference to the tap that looks like mine.
