Are you sure that it's not coming from higher up the tap tails?

OK - just a double check.
Get a piece of tissue and put it around the copper pipe under the tap without touching the brass fittings

How long since the tap was installed?

It's gone quiet - I hope you understand that the tissue was suggested as a way of checking where the water is coming from & not a cure for the problem!

Is this a new install?
In you first picture the right-hand isolator is turned off but there is still water on top of the reduction coupling?

Just seems odd that after 4 years both tails appear to be leaking.
Turn off both isolators
With an adjustable wrench of decent grips, hold the centre of the coupling
With a second set of the above, tighten the top nut clockwise - try a quarter of a turn
Open the isolator and check if that's cured the leak
