In my bath/shower there are three facets, one for Hot water, One for Cold Water, The other one is for either to run a bath or a shower, I think its called a divert or something like that.
Here is my problem, When the Divert(bath/shower) Facet is on Bath it seems that I have a stream of water coming from the Bath spout, If I turn on the shower then after a few minutes Water starts streaming down from the shower head.
Both Hot and Cold water is turned Off while this is happening;
How do I get this Stream to stop running ?
All Steams have been replaced, The hot and cold water seats have been repleaced also, but not for that Bath/shower facet, it seems that its striped and was put on wrong cause you can see it was installed on an angle instead of straight in. Can anyone help me with this.

If the seats are stripped, or cross-threaded at an angle, you have big trouble. You will never get it to not leak. Might be time to have a plumber look at this.

Thanks for the reply but we got it out, and we stoped the drip drip drip.
I Guess the WD 40 finally soaked in and losened it alittle, and Taped the Hecx tool with a hammer alittle and sure enough it came out. cleaned everything out from the pipes and what not. Bingo no more drips.
