Welcome Kendall!
Those washerless faucets have ceramic discs. My experience with them is that if they ever get completely dry, calcium in the water deposits on the discs and when you turn the faucet, the disc gets scratched and leaks hopelessly forever. You can replace the cartridge if you can get it from the manufacturer. Simple fix that shouldn't be too expensive a part - maybe $15 or so. Some manufacturers (American Standard is one) have a lifetime warrantee on those cartridges and will gladly send you a replacement gratis.
Look at that - still ANOTHER use for Duct tape!!!
