Water is leaking out of our tub faucet handle when the water is turned on. I believe this is causing the damage to the wall adjacent to the tub surround. It seems like this is because water might be leaking into the wall at the handle, or running down from the handle leak and and getting in between where the tub spout meets the tub surround wall. Caulking seems pretty secure at the corner where the shower door meets the surround, near where the leak is, so I don't think the water is seeping through there to damage the wall. What causes this type of leak, and how can it be fixed? Do I need a new cartridge? I have included a picture of the water leaking out and a picture of the wall. Thanks in advance for any advice!
