seal a tap to ceramic sink

I am trying to stop a leak from the joint of a monoblock tap against the sink. I do not have a large threaded nut to do up, just a single brass threaded bolt that has a horseshoe shaped plastic washer and clamp. Can anyone advise how to stop this leaking down under the sink?

you will have to take the tap out and tighten up the 2 flexi hoses, or the one which is leaking. it may even need the o-ring replacing

Thanks, but it doesn't leak until you splash the water at the bottom of the tap. Just running the water doesn't make it leak.
Any ideas?

thought you was on about one of the hoses, has it got a rubber o-ring or washer on the bottom of the tap that you can see? if it has it might be a case that its not seated correctly or if it has then it will need one.

run a little bit of silicon round the bottom of it.
