01
Spout node
Time the drip after normal shutoff without repeatedly cycling the faucet.
Sheet 23 / Diagnostic set
Break a faucet leak into five possible visible points
Distinguish a spout drip from water at the handle, base, supply, drain, or cabinet.
A drip from the spout after shutoff is not the same observation as moisture at a handle, base, supply, drain, or cabinet. Dry accessible surfaces and mark where water returns first.

Trace the source
Follow evidence through the branch
Compare hot and cold during normal use, then stop if cabinet water spreads. Ask whether the supported option changes an internal part, the faucet, a supply, mounting, or a separate drain component.
