Moen Posi-Temp, Tub/shower valve leak

[Redland1]

Hello.I am in the process of remodeling my kids bathroom and after I replaced their tub and started filling it I noticed that their was a slight drip from the valve cartridge at the center of it where you turn the water on and off.Can I just replace the cartridge and be good or does the whole valve assembly need replaced?

Replace the cartridge. It's a Moen and the part is on the rack at the home centers. Factory parts are safer.

I have a whole new assembly from a kit that I bought.I can just take the cartridge out of that one,but would that still be my best bet? Home is 10 years old.
