Default Alt Valv Leaks

WHen I turn on the cold water, water flows from the hot valve

I've seen the same for years in a medical school library (ie public)
restroom, and they never seem to fix it either.

My sink is from 1977, Kohler I think. My uncle insists it is hard to fix
because of the way this valve is built?

How can I learn more about this sorta thing?

What comes to mind....
* Ask friends
* Go to a plumbing or hardware store, and ask
* Internet research
* Post a question here, and maybe someone will answer.

A question comes to mind to me, and I may know what's going on. And
how to fix it. But, you didn't ask.
