It's possible that the gasket needs to be replaced, which is quite easy to do. Turn off the water source (under the sink) before you begin, though. Then remove the faucet handles and replace the gaskets. You can remove the faucet handles to see what size and type of gaskets you need first, or you can purchase a packet of assorted size and types of gaskets at any hardware store, in which should be the type your faucet uses. And don't be afraid of trying this on your own, it is much easier than most people think, and much cheaper than paying a plumber to do it for you.
