dripping faucet
Washer needs replacing
A dripping faucet is one that leaks water in slow, intermittent drops, usually due to a worn washer or faulty seal.
The phrase often appears in contexts about wasted water, minor household annoyances, or sounds that disturb sleep: The dripping faucet kept me up all night.
Figuratively, something that occurs in a slow, steady trickle may be compared to a dripping faucet.
