OK so let me start with saying that putting off a leak and letting someone else deal with it is not what I believe this forum is about and I am sure that the new owner of that Coach would agree a sponge is not a proper repair. We have the best made Coaches and lets make sure that we keep them operating as designed.
The Washer-Less Faucets use O-Rings instead of the Rubber Washers that were previously used. I took my Cartridge out of the Faucet and went to the local Hardware Store. Since Newell used quality Faucets, the parts were readily available. I made sure that I got the Cartridge (New Plastic Housing with O-Rings) instead of just the O-Rings. While the O-Rings may have been sufficient I wanted to make sure that I did not need a sponge in the future.
I needed a Hex Key (Allen Wrench) to remove the Faucet Handle. Then I was able to unscrew the Nut below the Handle and above the Plastic Housing for the O-Ring Seals. I would suggest that you get some help from someone who is knowledgeable (Home Depot and Lowes hires retired contractors).
Good Luck, Steve
