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.
These are called dew drops. They form when the temperature of the surface cools down causing water vapor in the air to condense and form small droplets of water. Dew is more likely to form on clear, calm nights when the temperature drops close to the dew point temperature.
Drops of condensed water in the atmosphere can form clouds, fog, or precipitation such as rain or drizzle, depending on atmospheric conditions like temperature, pressure, and humidity.
The term for the drops of water that form on surfaces near the ground is "dew." Dew forms when the temperature of the surface cools to the dew point temperature of the surrounding air, causing water vapor in the air to condense into liquid water droplets.
Rain comes in drops because water droplets in clouds merge together to form larger drops due to gravity and air resistance. Eventually, these drops become heavy enough to fall to the ground as raindrops.
