Subject:Water spout question
From:Eric Caron

Hi listers,

        At the end of a wonderful camping weekend my girlfriend pointed out that the water spout in the sink had developed a leak.  There is a plastic washer that marks the spot where the spout swivels as you pick it up and down.  When the water is turned on there is now a leak there.  When the water is off no leak.  It pretty much drains into the sink and is not bad yet.

Does anyone have experience with this?  Is this a fix I can do on the spout or is this a indicator that I should order a new spout?  A few weeks ago the same spout had a problem making contact when turned and list members here talked me through the repair of the wires.  That electrical repair is still working nicely.  So is this type of leak the sign of  of the end of the spout or can someone suggest a repair ?

Other then Go Westy do other venders also carry a replacement?

Tips and suggestions greatly appreciated.
