Any number of fancy faucets with exotic valve mechanisms are available for kitchens and bathrooms, but laundry tub faucets are built for strength, not looks, and they usually have simple screw-down valves. They are known as compression valves, and when a compression-style laundry faucet is leaking, it's very easy to repair. In fact, if you have easy access to a shutoff for the laundry room, the repair seldom takes longer than 10 minutes. | Any number of fancy faucets with exotic valve mechanisms are available for kitchens and bathrooms, but laundry tub faucets are built for strength, not looks, and they usually have simple screw-down valves.

There is probably a small set screw inside a hole that is right where that water drop is forming. The set screw is almost certainly an Allen key screw. You will need a wide variety of small sized Allen wrenches to test and find the right fit. Then you can unscrew, remove the handle, and hopefully identify the root cause of your leak. | |||
