It almost has to be leaking either under the gasket which is not sealing or from under the seat. If you removed the seat, did you seal it when you put it back in. Is the seat smooth and free of pits? They sell seat hones for refacing the seats, and replacement seats are also available unless the faucets are very old.
It's just not shutting off. The water us coming out of the spout like it should if the water was turned on.

I have a bathroom that has a leak on the hot side. I replaced the stem and seat on both sides (hot and cold) but the hot is still leaking. I am perplexed as to what can cause this situation. The only thing I can think of is a crack near the seat, but I did not see one. I removed the stem and seat and inspected them several times, they are operating as the should. I'm hoping that someone out there has an idea of what could be causing this leak.
The tub surround is tiled and I do not want to replace the faucet unless necessary.
