    Isn't that just a standard single hole faucet? What's the big deal?

    From the picture it looks to be a delta product. Search them and see what comes up

    CR, just a thought:
    if you like the style of your existing faucet (I don't to be honest, but each to their own), you may try to open it and see what you find.
    In most single lever mixing faucets, there's a replaceable ceramic cartridge inside, which is what actually does the job of mixing and regulate the flow.
    More than likely, that's the culprit for the leak, and it's sufficient to replace that - assuming you can still find the exact type/size, that is.

    Should you go the full replacement route instead, personally I like to steer clear of chromed brass onboard, and use stainless steel faucets instead.

    Been in them before, when you can get them apart.
    Big nylon ball and O rings. I just grab my O ring kit and fresh plumbers grease and reassemble.

    Sadly, chrome over brass and 45+ years later has not weathered well here.
    It is not coming apart well,, in a good manner,, for to go back together well..

    Delta has a near match that I think looks great.

    Beauty in simple function.
    Even a cave man can understand and operate it.
    AND, it fits the simple design of that lil forward wet-head.

    Thanks to all my brothers here
    Stay well and safe
