A radio handyman has said, "Water always wins".

FWIW, Delta faucets have a lifetime warranty, but you'll need to demonstrate the date and place that you bought it—and more specifically—the exact model.

OTOH, they expect their products to be fixed by shipping tiny springs and washers— sometimes they'll send you everything tiny that can fix it—and you'll have to sort them all out.

One of the most frustrating repairs I've done was to a normally reliable brass fitting. As it turned out, the fixture was cut very thin, and apparently didn't appear to be faulty when manufactured. As below, a tiny hole had formed at the seat!
