You need to replace the O rings on the spout spigot.
If there is a little screw on the rear of the mixer body, then remove that (with the plug in the plughole first), then pull upwards on the tap spout.
If no screw, then turn spout to align with tap handles, and pull upwards. Try turning to the left first, but it could be either direction.
Carefully remove the O rings, then take spout and old O rings to a plumbers' merchant to get replacements.
