Thank you for posting your question here on Fixya.com.
You need to check and probably replace the gasket inside the valve to stop the leak. The gasket kit is pretty cheap and not to hard to replace. We can try to get you the part number if you can post the valve brand and model. You should be able to call any local pool store with the brand of filter and get the part you need without any trouble.
Be sure in the future that no one adjusts the valve setting without turning the pump off. Moving the handle with the pump on can dislodge the gasket and then releasing the handle damages the gasket.
