Have you tried simply tightening what is known as the packing nut? It is the nut which has the post you attach the handle of the faucet to running through it. There is an O-ring between that nut and the body of the faucet that keeps the water from leaking out and over time, that nut can become loose and leak which is what I'm suspecting is your issue.

That's helpful to know but I'm assuming in ordering for me to access or tighten the packing nut, it would still require me to take off the handle first right? I guess I'm still trying to figure out how to take off the handle to troubleshoot the leak.

You're right about the set screw being under that logo thingy.

There won't be a packing nut on this type of faucet.
