leaky faucet
Plumber's simple job
A leaky faucet is one that drips water even when turned off, usually due to worn washers or seals.
The steady drip is a common household nuisance and symbol of minor neglect: That leaky faucet kept me up all night.
Figuratively, a leaky faucet describes any slow, persistent loss or drain on resources.
