Jill of all trades

I live in a house built in the late 70's and have put vinyl siding on the old exterior. I have an old outside faucet that has leaked for years no matter how hard I turn on the handle.
I want to know if it can be repaired with out having to replace it since I would have to take the vinyl siding off in order to remove the old spigot. It is an old Mansfield brass spigot and it leaks from the spout and not around the handle.
I assume that this is a washer-less spigot and it is possible that it may just be wore out although it has leaked as long as we have lived in the house which has been 13 years and must have leaked for some time prior to our ownership because the exterior wood that we vinyled over was water damaged.
I know I said I am a Jill of all trades which is true cause I have done a little of it all over the last few years I just tend to let things like this go since I am a procrastinator and my husband is certainly not a handyman. So it all falls on me to do the repair work.
So can someone help we while I am in the mood to do it?!!!!!!!
I this works then I might become a regular on here since I have several things that leak around here and it is getting to be ridiculous how long I have put off fixing them.
Thank you
