Hi,

What a really great group and folks.

Sr. Citizen now, so bear with me a bit if I don't explain
my problem all that well.

Our bathroom sink has a leak.
The faucet has the very typical separate hot and cold
valves, and a center spout.

The center spout, right behind it, has the rod for opening and closing
the sink drain by pulling up and down on it.

When the water is running, a substantial drip develops on the
rod (under the counter), which I believe is called the "lift rod".

Not the horiz. piece where it enters the drain pipe, but coming right
down the vertical lift rod itself.

The ball fitting and gasket where the horiz piece enters the drain is
where I thought initially the problem was, but not so.

The drip is really coming right down the lift rod.

Hard for me to understand, therefore, where it is initially originating
from, and/or what causes.
How can water be getting from either faucet to this vertical rod ?

Any thoughts on this, or how to repair would be appreciated.

Hopefully don't want to replace the whole faucet assembly.

Much thanks,
Bob

One thought is the faucet trim cover plate is not caulked correctly at
the sink or you splash a lot of water? I can't see it from here.

We need another clue Bob.

Do the drippings occur when running the hot water only?

Do the drippings occur when running the cold water only?

Hi,

Either H or C.

you might try:

"start" to dismantle as much as you can, and see what develops down there,
leak wise ...
this way,
you might [accidentally] find the solution; learning something as you go

[and you may end up having doing this anyway]

the rod goes thru a seal, might try tightening it a bit.

also how about if you stopper the drain .

or the opposite, fill the sink, turn of the spigot, them empty.

does it leak while filling or while emptying?

No it doesn't Bob; the OP is talking about the lift rod - vertical - that
goes into the clip to open or close the pop up - that has seal but it not
where he is having his problem.

I think Oren gave the best reply.

I have the same exact issue. I have glacier by bathroom sink faucet. Any resolution to this?

What issue do you have?

When are people from howmeownershub going to learn that their posts are
posted to Usenet, which has many times as many people participating, and
especially to alt.home.repair, where people know more than those at
homeowners, but the preceding post or posts are almost never included or
posted separately.

So when wwe see a post, we usually don't know what you guys are talking
about.

So I repeat. What is your issue? The subject line is not detailed
enough.

And why are most of your posts only one line. Is it 1875 and you're
being charged by the word? If you were on Usenet, you could write posts
as long as you want, including all the facts.

Enough information to give a fix. Get rid of the Glacier Bay and
replace it with Moen or Kohler. Problem solved.

No action required.Â* Global warming will eventually melt the glacier.

If by the same issue you mean that water is running down the lift rod from
the top of the sink, then there is a leak up there. If it leaks with both hot and
cold, only while running, then it would seem to be from the spout. Unless
water is ponding on the sink around the faucets or spout and coming from
there, you're probably going to have to pull the faucet out. But I'd try to
get a look up there first, if possible. Might also be easier to remove the
whole sink to work on it.

1.
Try tightening the lift rod nut. 2. Then try to get a new lift rod assy.
3. Then use their warranty. I presume they are warrantied for life but IDK.

Does anyone know if my posts ever show up over there?

I am curious as to how the water is actually getting there. No one is more

any kind of seal on the lift rod itself.

I addressed this in an earlier post. The water is coming down from the top of
the pop up to a 'bracket' to the lift rod. I don't believe there is a seal for
the pop up. Terminology torsion~~

They described it as water running down the lift rod. The one's I've seen,
there is no bracket, it's just a rod that goes from the knob at the faucet
straight down to the lift mechanism on the drain pipe. At that point
there is a metal arm with a seal that goes into the drain pipe to lift it.
If water is running down the rod, it's coming from near the top, where
the faucets are, either from water pooling around the faucets or a fresh
water leak.
