Water pooling at base of delta waterfall faucet spout
I'm guessing I need new rings? This faucet is about 10 years old. I'm getting a leak underneath the sink coming under the pooling water.
Thanks for your help

I have the same problem. The part that is needed is found with a simple Google search for "Delta Waterfall RP22934 O-Rings"
Simply Slide the collar up at the base of the spout where it swivels.
Gently open the now exposed split plastic retainer so that the tabs near the bottom are pulled from their holes.
Lift the spout off the base to expose the o-rings.
Replace with the new o-rings and apply o-ring grease.
Re-assemble and enjoy a dry sink area.
Thostetter,
Yes, it sounds like new rings. They are readily available at the supply center/big box stores. Also buy a little tube of O-ring lube for Plumbing. It is a little spendy but it will more than double the life of the rings. Generally this job can be done with an allen wrench bundle, 10" crescent wrench and the new parts. Turn the water off before you start!!
Good Luck, Phil
