Best pic I could get - the backend of faucet is up against a backsplash.

I'm trying to repair a leak in my kitchen faucet, but the set screw won't budge. I've sprayed Krud Kutter and WD in the hole - no luck. Any ideas?

thank goodness you cleared that up - wouldld have never known otherwise :)

lol - or hobo in attic, dropping stuff between walls.

I *think* I found source: there's an outdoor spigot (on same wall as shower) that has a timer on it for garden...turned all water off (but not at street) and I could hear the intermittent noise clearly outside. Took off all attachments from spigot and water was leaking out!

Gotcha. Thanks for the first step to take.

It could be the a/c if I hear it coming from the shower stall?

Ooo, haven't tried that. Totally will know it's a leak then, if it stops. If it doesn't, back at square one!

There is a noise coming from inside the shower stall wall, by the pipe that brings water up to shower head. I can hear it easily, and when I place my ear against the tile, higher up towards the shower head, it soulds like its around that point. No visible leaking. It happens about once every...

Ohmygosh - we threw a hail mary with the linked pipe cutter. Cut just past the deformity and held our breath when placing new valve. It worked! We have water AND no need for a plumber. My FIL just passed in November and he was the one who insisted on fixing all the plumbing, so that we could...

Would this work?

Yeah...should have used a ring cutter. Any suggestions on what to use to cut pipe?

YEs, I think so. Where the old compression ring was, the pipe is indented about a 1/4" around. so it's thinner there.

We think the tool that pulled of the compression ring, made the pipe thinner at the point the new valve nut and ring attach. No water tonight - calling plumber in the morning. above our capabilities.
