If your faucet drips from the spout end or leaks up through the handle, follow "Disassembly" instructions and replace the cartridge. If your faucet leaks from either the top or bottom of the spout hub, replace o-rings. Be sure to use only genuine Moen replacement parts. Re-assemble, following "Reassembly" instructions. For proper water flow, aerator must be free of foreign particles. If flow is weak or irregular, unscrew aerator, clean and replace.
