If the faucet is the quarter turn or single handle type, you put new seal in it. There is some variance in how they come apart but here's the basics. Shut the water off. Remove the handle. Dual handle are held on with a screw through the top. Remove the hot/cold cap and the screw is under that. There will be a nut under that holding the stem in the faucet. Remove the nut and the stem will pull straight up and out. In the resulting hole you will see a small black seal, the size of a pencil erasure. This comes straight out. There is a small spring under the seal. Replacement seals usually come with a new spring. replace in reverse order and drip is fixed. The stem should only go in one way, usually a small tit that locates it.
Single handle is basicly the same process. Handle is held on with a set screw, there may be a cover plate over it if it is on the front of the handle. Remove handle, bigger nut under it, larger ball under that and two of the rubber seals. Same process in replacing.
