    Shower unit leaking from screw

    Hello, amateur DIYer here. My shower has recently started slowly dripping from the unit / bar, right where there is a screw fitting. (photos attached) My best guess is an internal washer has failed, but unsure whether this screw has any other purpose and shouldn't be removed? Would be...
