If it is very Old Plumbing it could be the 'packing' around the shaft of the valve. Lots of graphite? If its fairly new plumbing, could be the washer coming apart inside the valve, or pipe residue. Is the water on the hot side getting harder to trun off? More twist pressure to stop the drip? Then I would say its the (seal) washer on the end of the valve shaft. This can be replaced fairly easy on newer plumbling. A deep socket type plumbers tool removes the valve, after the water is turned off of course.Maybe on here there is a 'how to fix a drippy faucet' FAQ, Check that out, or Google it.
