Where's it leaking? Recheck the fitted washer. It could be a dirty/rough valve seat.

just to add to my question above ........ a week a go i replaced the valve seat (old) with new valve seat and i forgot to apply silicone rubber sealant ..........
Now i am getting leak from the copper pipe where the valve seat is placed (just below where the valve seat) .... the sink is blocking me i cant realy see exactly where the leak is coming from. Except that the leak is from the pipe the Valve seat and near The Valve Seat. ..... i hope that helps
 
Most probably faulty fitting, it's a pain, but that's how we learn! Re-assemble, clean, renew if needed and take your time.

Don't use silicone or jointing paste on potable water.
