Hi guys
Firstly, hello. First post on here so be gentle!
Righty - I've got these taps in my house -
http://www.taps4less.com/PP/Q-BC301.html
The cold one is leaking. Not dripping from the spout - but leaking from underneath the basin. Friend suggested undoing the big plastic nut underneath and using some sealant.... which I did and it worked, yay....
Erm, well, nope. Next morning, floor was dry but the leak had moved and appeared to be coming from the bottom of the tap where it touches the basin and slowly filling the cut out for the soap. Hope this makes sense...?
I've checked the washer and that is fine - but again, it doesn't drip or seem to come from anywhere - just slowly allowing water to run from beneath the tap. There is an image here (I've removed it totally now)

Any ideas? It is almost as if it is leaking from the top of the thread where it joins the tap body - but surely that isn't possible...?
Can anyone help before I buy some new ones (don't mind buying them if I know it can't be fixed).
Thanks
Si
