Replacing the Kitchen Spray Nozzle Gasket
If your leak is at the sprayer head itself, the first thing to check is the gasket in the sprayer. Start by turning off the water under the sink and running the faucet until no more water comes through. Twist the spray nozzle apart and remove the gasket. It should pop out quite easily. Take it to the hardware store and find a matching part. Fit it back into the nozzle, making sure it’s seated in the cavity well correctly. Put the spray head back on.
Turn the water back on and test the kitchen faucet sprayer. If there’s no longer a leak at the nozzle, you’ve solved the problem. If you have other problems with the spray head, however, you will need to replace the entire unit.
