Hose bib leaking.

Not sure why this is so hard to diagnose. Because the OP won't share where it's leaking. let's start with eliminating the components. also, anyone suggesting teflon tape does not know how water hose connection work. The threads only pull the sealing surfaces together against the rubber gasket.

If you attach a garden hose to your bib with a device at the end that shuts off, does it leak? Where??
If out of the bib stem, the packing seal is bad.
if out of the rubber seal, you have a bad rubber seal or it is not tight enough. Use quality rubber gaskets and or use channel locks to really tighten. If hose has plastic nut, they are junk!

If the hose attempt above is now leak free, Now try your splitter. With both side of your splitter closed, dose it leak? If yes where? Around gasket or via the ball seal?
If gasket, same as above tighten with plyers/ plastic nut + junk.
if ball seal, junk

Now why would you want him to do THAT and remove some mystery from it? With a bit of tap-dancing I could see this winding up with more followers than Kando's drain plug. Speaking of which,I'm wondering if one of the tools suggested for removing Kando's plug might work for this.

I looked at my original post. I might not of come right out and said where it was leaking, but with a bit of reading comprehension and critical thinking it sure isn't hard to figure out.
Anyway, I fixed the problem. I let you guys get back to your popcorn I wouldn't want to spoil the mystery.

1. You closed the valve and it stopped leaking.
2. You removed the valve bib, and put your milling machine and refaced it

And???

You can't leave us hanging for the sequel to be released in two years, can you?
Oh, wait, just like the studios, you can...

All the best, Peter

You might be surprised by how many comprehensive readers and critical thinkers recognized reluctance to "come right out and say" was leading into a game of tiddlywinks and moved on without comment. We less cultured specimens couldn't let it go without letting you know you were busted. Pass the popcorn and dim the lights in preparation for the next who-done-it.
