II've had that problem before. The cone should unscrew and you can remove the spout. Most likely one of the O-rings is at fault. Right down the name and model of the fauvcet if you know it - it'll make it easier at the hardware store to get the right rings. Rub plumbers grease on the rings before you put them on: that will help them slide in and also let the spout move easier.
By The Way: Make sure to turn off the water first, you don't want to accidentally turn the water on while the spout is off.

Hi all,
I have a kitchen faucet that leaks at the base of the spout. I can not remember how it is assembled. There is a decorative cone shaped piece that goes around the spout pipe. It does not swivel but holds the pipe that does swivel. The water comes out at the bottom of the cone and above the cover plate that holds the hot and cold water handles. Does this cone shaped piece unscrew? While I can get underneath the sink it is getting more difficult as I get older and I would be really happy if I do not have to get down there.
Any way I can not find schematics on line on how it is put together.
