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.
