Turn off the water, remove the tap head or cover, this will expose two nuts, the top one is a gland, and the bigger one is the insert, undo this one and you will find the washer at the bottom, unless its a ceramic base, in which case, buy a new insert

remove the handle and the tap insert is the same as a single tap or it maybe a cartridge type rather than washer
