Answer:

Chances are it uses the old compression stem parts (not at all the same as copper compression fittings), with the most likely failure being the seat washersThey're about fifty cents at a good local hardware storeShut off the water to the faucet, put a washcloth or towel over the drain (in case you drop a part), take off the handle buttons, the handle screws, the handles, and the next thing belowYou're now looking at the top of the stemRemove it with a wrench and take to the store for a new washerReverse assemble everythingIf the old seat washers are really chewed up, or rough, the seats they press against may be badThey also can be replacedBut, facing more work, buying a seat removal tool, my wife wondering why anyone would even waste time fixing the thing - etc- maybe time to just buy a new faucetI never argue with the cook.
