Our star was brighter perhaps when it had water in it.
Now there is no question even of that, but only
Of holding on to the hard earth so as not to get thrown off,
With an occasional dream, a vision ...
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
When draining the faucet raise up the lid and check to see if the leaking has stopped. If the leaking doesn't stop run a regular drain cycle to see if that fixes the problem.

A flashlight may a assist you in locating the location of the leak on the faucet since faucets are traditionally under cabinets are hard to see. It's normal to see water all around the faucet, but what you should be looking for are deposits of calcium around the facet. Where you see large calcium deposits are where the leaks usually are.
When I first paddled a boat on Walden, it was completely surrounded by thick and lofty pine and oak woods, and in some of its coves grape-vines had run over the trees next the water and formed bowers under which a boat could pass. The hills which form its shores are so steep, and the woods on them were then so high, that, as you looked down from the west end, it had the appearance of an amphitheatre for some kind of sylvan spectacle.... But since I left those shores the woodchoppers have still further laid them waste, and now for many a year there will be no more rambling through the aisles of the wood, with occasional vistas through which you see the water. My Muse may be excused if she is silent henceforth. How can you expect the birds to sing when their groves are cut down?
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
