Mend Kitchen Mixer Tap Leaking Water

How can I fix my kitchen mixer tap and stop it leaking?

The water is running constantly out of the gap where the spout turns from side to side. I understand how to change a washer on a tap but this seems a bit more tricky because I can't see how you get the unit apart - do I need to fit a new mixer tap?

Any advice greatly welcomed - Thank you!

If it is an old tap there will be a grub screw at the back of the spout undo it and pull the spout out and then renew the o rings , new taps wont have a grub screw just turn the spout to ths side and pull it out renew the o rings.
