If you still have a leak after the washer and tape, it might be a crack in the spigot body. That’s a “call a plumber” move. But if you fixed it, you just saved yourself $150, gained a new skill, and earned the right to tell people you “rebuilt your plumbing infrastructure.”
Now go pat yourself on the back. Then go water your plants. That spigot will flow like wine at a wedding—until the next time you store a hose in the snow. But that’s a story for another café visit.
