Dripping Waterfall Shower

Hey all!

I generally don't use the waterfall shower in favour of the small shower head.
When this is in use the waterfall head drips cold water.

There doesn't look to be much to the outlet, how do I stop it leaking?

My guess is maybe something is worn out in the main control/tap unit?

The diverter is passing (the control that changes the water to either the handset or the overhead), there's a little water passing and it's pushing the cold water in the column riser up and out of the overhead wall outlet.
 
May do, if that's the type of shower that's installed. May be an idea to shut it all down and take out the diverter to see what type it is and match it up.
 
Hey thanks for your help on this!
I have now replaced the diverter cartridge, which looks to be working.

After turning the isolation valves back to where they were it seems I have water leaking from the screw, guessing I did something wrong?

Things look to be working but with the screw on the isolation valve fully tightened which isn't how it was before.

Maybe time for a plumber?
