Checking our 10 year old CI Carioca over today, I find the shower mixer tap is leaking below the handle whenever the pump is switched on, even when the handle is in the cold/closed position. This is causing the pump to operate intermittently, which leads to more leaking.
Broken Link Removed
I'm assuming this is down to a defunct washer, but I need to fix this in the next few days and have very little spare time due to work, so booking it into a repair shop isn't an option.
Is this something that can be fixed easily from the tap side, and if so, how do I dismantle the tap?
Alternatively, am I going to have to remove the entire corner panel (held on with 8 screws and sealant) and replace the whole mixer tap unit? I'm very wary of this due to the risk of splitting a tall floppy panel with metal bits attached to it..

As you can see above, it's superimposed onto the two side wall panels, so (in theory) cutting the sealant and taking the screws out should reveal all?
Of course we can just be careful about not leaving the pump on during our next trip and there'll be no major disasters, but I'd prefer to get it fixed if possible.
Any advice/pointers appreciated as always.
