I guess i should have taken a photo without the hose

And it is not the hose that is leaking, it's the gold band on top that is part of the faucet itself.

I tried to remove the "hose fitting", could you tell me how I might do remove it to add a washer? Is there a certain tool needed?

You can tell I know nothing about plumbing with that title. So when I turn on the hose, water leaks out of little holes around this gold ring (as in the attached pictures). Any thoughts on repairing, or how to remove and replace the gold ring? Thank you so much for any help. :) Lyn

Much appreciation for your sharing. I'll head in your suggested direction, and post again as needed. I noticed the dripping has slowed a bit, so I may take it slow. Lyn

Thanks so much for your response. Stress level has dropped significantly with understanding why the problem. I actually have a toilet that just started leaking also....... So with this faucet problem, I don't replace the whole thing, i just replace a part? I have no plumbing experience, is...

I have a 3 year old home. It seems like new faucets are crappy. I turn off the shower as far as possible, and it leaks. The second one to go bad in this home. Is there any simple style or brand of shower control (I don't care about aesthetics) that is considered more reliable? Help is much...
