What happens here

Begin by observing the faucet for leaks when in use. The video shows water spraying from the base of the spout. To address this, firmly pull the faucet spout upwards and off its base. Inside the spout, you will find a small clip, a retaining nut, and a set of O-rings, which are critical for sealing and smooth movement.

Goal: First, identify the source of the leak by operating the faucet. Then, detach the faucet spout from its base to expose the internal components causing the issue.
