Hello,
I am no good at DIY but came here for help on a plumbing problem.
I have a small leak as per picture attached, I think the shading machine tap needs replacing but I am not sure.
Have checked the copper piping that appears fine, but the drip appears to be coming from the machine tap.
The y plastic tap above appears to be fine. To repair the issue is this something easy to do myself plus the part wise?
O I tried my best to seal the leak but it is not working hence the tape on the pic.

Two possibilities at first glance:

1. Rubber seal inside beige plastic lower nut on Y piece is missing / damaged - replace Y piece.
2. The blue plastic handle on the tap is preventing the beige plastic nut from tightening up sufficiently. Remove blue plastic handle. There will be a small machine screw attaching the handle to the valve spindle.
 
Looks like it's leaking from the plastic y there not very good and best replaced

You can do it yourself if you have hand tools grips and an adjustable spanner

If not should cost too much for a plumber
 
Check my link two posts up
 
Is this Defo the right part as per pic the blue handle piece seems to bend not have two ports to it. I think the y pipe is the issue as you can see the water coming out just where the plastic nut is.

They leak all the time there rubbish best to replace either either two washing machine valves or the one in my link above
 
Nope no difference just two 3/4 connectors
 
Hello I have another issue regarding the bath itself
Recently a screw has come lose under the bathroom tap, the rubber has worn away on the screw. I think the other one is on its way out as well.

I have attached the photos can anyone help with this?
