Yes, actually :) Most faucet leaks are due to failure of a part inside of the fawcet. You have to shut the water off to your sink and take the faucet apart to see what part you need, take the part to the hardware store and buy another one, and install it. Make sure you plug the sink with a rag so that none of the parts fall down the drain :)

You need a length of rope, some duct tape, a pair of pliers, a monkey wrench, and a phone book.
1. Use the phone book to call a plumber. Ask him to come to an address that is not yours. 2. When the plumber arrives there, clock him with the monkey wrench. 3. Use the rope to tie his hands and feet, and the duct tape to cover his eyes. 4. Demand that the plumber fix your leak for a low price, or even free, if you're daring. If he refuses, use the pliers to pull out a toenail, then demand it again. Continue until he agrees, or you run out of nails. If he still refuses, drive somewhere remote, toss him out of the car, and try again with a new plumber. 5. If he agrees, let him fix it, but make sure he is tied to the sink, so he can't leave, and so he can't see you. When he's done, put the duct tape back over his eyes, drive him somewhere remote, and toss him out of the car.
