Hi,

Just so I don't get things messed up, I assume that the packing nut is
"nut #1" in http://csua.berkeley.edu/~tonytung/faucet.jpg.

Please correct me if I am wrong.


Yes, #1 is the packing nut. You might be ahead of the game if you take off
the whole valve and bring it to a good hardware store.

Thanks for your help. Tightening the packing nut did the trick.
