They are supposed to leak up until they are turned ON all the way. If not turned on tightly (full on), they leak. It's by design. That's how they drain the water away from the end that freezes.

I reassembled the stem and it doesn’t leak anymore.
Must have unseated itself during the winter?
Either way, safe to say that I’m a genius.
