I haven’t seen anyone else mention it, so I will. Be sure the problem is not the back flow prevention valve device that the builder installs in all homes outdoor hose faucets to meet building code. Those valves cause the faucet to leak when first shut off but the leak stops in a few seconds. It doesn’t sound like that’s your problem, but you should rule it out before going through the effort of repairing or replacing the entire fixture. Good luck : )
