Thanks, Cliff. I'll definitely be calling a plumbing supply house, once we figure out whether or not we're cutting into the wall.

It's leaking out the faucet, not the showerhead.

No need to access mains. Once the head is off, see where there's a neoprene washer, or O-ring, or other seal device that needs replacing. Or it may be a matter of tightening things up on the existing seals.

It's a Sentinel II by Speakman. Two questions: 1) Given that we don't know where or if there's a master cutoff switch for her condo, am I going to have to cut into the wall to get to the shutoff valves to this plumbing? 2) Are there user-serviceable parts in this thing that I can get to (and replace) which will stop the leak?
