You should turn off the water at the main valve in your home, and take a Phillips head screwdriver, and remove the stem of the faucet. The leak is like from a gasket at the end of the stem. Take the whole stem to the hardware store, and get a new one. Put it all back together.

How do you get the outside tap to stop dripping after turning off water inside for the winter?
Outside Tap? outside faucet?/outside hosebibb?/outside spigot? well in most cases you are referring to the outside faucet that is dripping and I am guessing you have a ball valve or gate valve inside and when you shut of the ball/gate valve your outside faucet is still dripping and this means you have a leaky ball/gate valve which are known to leak slightly over the years and if your outside faucet is shutoff , then you need new seals in your outside faucet too. The easyest way to stop your leak is replace or repair your outside faucet if its a freezeless one. (just make sure your outside faucet has grade to drain the water out after you shut it off)
