under sink valve shut off is leaking
 

Both valves under my bathroom sink have started leaking. I have tried tightening the screw, but that doesn't help. If I loosen the screw, it sprays even more. If I shut off the whole valve, it is just a slow drip.
How complicated is it to fix something like this? Is anyone willing to walk me through it?:confused:
I've attached 2 pictures.

Sounds like the packing nut can be tightened up here is a link on how to do it


If the water is coming out to quick I would suggest seeing if you can shut the water off before the shut off valves.

In the video he took the knob off first. Should I do that? Or can I tighten the packing nut without removing the knob?

Fixed!
 

Thanks so much! The packing nuts were loose on both sides. I tightened them both and then realized the nut from the valve to the tube going up to the sink was also leaking. I tightened it as well, and now it's dry! :clap:
I appreciate this forum!

Glad it worked out for you!
Thank!
