Given this photo, how do I repair a drip? It is a quite old faucet. Do I
remove the round handle and packing nut directly underneath? Then what?
Do I replace the step, or is there a washer under there? Thanks for any
help. I am plumbing-challenged.

Where is the drip from? If it come from the stem, then it could either be
the stem washer or the faucet needs a little tightening. If it's not from
the stem, then it's the valve gasket.
