I have two freeze proof faucets outside. This past weekend I hooked up the
hoses (which I removed over the winter). Both faucets are leaking from
underneath the plastic cap, ONLY when I turn the water on. Can I pop off
the
cap to see what is going on under there? Is there a washer that needs to
be
replaced? Can I do this myself or do I need to hire a plumber? I Googled
freeze proof faucets but couldn't find anything about repairing a leak.

I have 2. One only has a minor leak. the other leaks a lot from under the
cap but also a little from around a "seam" that is between the cap and the
knob you turn to turn the water on. Again, it only leaks when the water is
turned on
