With the faucet shut off, take the handle off and under it is a nut around the stem. There is either an O ring under the nut, a fiber washer or stem packing depending on what type of faucet it is. Replace which ever it has and that should fix it. If your faucet is a screw type, the handle turns several time when opening it, you can probably take the nut off, wrap two or three wraps of stem packing around the stem, clockwise looking down on it and replace the nut and tighten. This will compress the packing around the stem without replacing the cone washer in the nut or all of the old packing.
I think I have a water leak in my basement. What are some ways to detect and repair the leak?
NO!
Switch off supply, unscrew top pf faucet, remove stem and washer (or cartridge) take it to store, buy identical one, come home and re-fit in reverse order.
possibly a weld if leak is accessable and repair cheaper than replacement where leak occurred

My bathroom faucet is starting to leak. Are there any websites that have videos on how to repair such problems on my own?
OK, find the leak and repair it.
You should turn off the water at the main valve in your home, and take a Phillips head screwdriver, and remove the stem of the faucet. The leak is like from a gasket at the end of the stem. Take the whole stem to the hardware store, and get a new one. Put it all back together.
