the water must reach a certain mass weight in order to release the faucet surface and fall, therefore with a slow leak the drop can form a larger drop before falling.

Water forms drops due to the cohesive forces between water molecules. Cohesion causes water molecules to be attracted to each other, creating a spherical shape that minimizes surface tension. This shape allows water to form into droplets rather than spreading out.

because the water spreads out and the air pushes them to each other and forms drops.
