Does it leak around the handle? If so, it may be as simple as tightening the packing nut to stop the leak. Be very careful to just slightly tighten the packing nut, too tight and the handle will be hard to turn. If tightening the nut did not work, it may be that the o-rings have hardened from age. You may need to shut the water off to the hose bib. Remove the handle by removing the screw that holds it on. Next, remove the packing nut. Clean the area the o-ring or packing sets, and clean the valve stem you just removed the packing nut from. Replace the o-ring or packing that is in there. A little lubrication eases reassembly.
