To troubleshoot a leaking kitchen faucet on your own, you can start by checking the faucet's connections for any loose nuts or fittings. Tighten them if needed. You can also inspect the faucet's washers and O-rings for wear and tear, and replace them if necessary. Additionally, check for any mineral deposits or debris that may be causing the leak and clean the aerator or cartridge. If these steps do not resolve the issue, it may be best to call a professional plumber for further assistance.
