Tried to use the new outside water to wash the car on Sat and
found a little problem. When I screw the hose on all the way to the
spigot, even as tight as possible, it leaks and sprays water
everywhere. Gasket maybe?? Not to sure, any ideas how to fix??

Where's it leaking? If it's definitely from where the hose screws on,
try a new washer, or try doubling up two washers in the female hose
fitting.

Some faucets have an anti-siphon device that the hose screws into; if
this has failed it can leak. These also tend to spray out a bunch of
water when you shut off the faucet and relieve pressure in the hose.
