Need help with outside Sillcock leaking.

[don smith]

Hello to everyone, I am new to the site and hoping to find help. I am a senior citizen with a leaking outside sillcock. It only leaks when the hose is connected to the sillcock and under pressure and the leak is coming out of the stem area. The sillcock is a Matco-Notca model 1019A. I call a local plumber to help find the problem. The First thing out of the plumber's mouth was I need to replace the entire unit. Well, I live in a townhouse and the sillcock and piping are in a shared wall with another unit. He told me that he would need to cut a hole in the wall to have access to the plumbing at a cost nearly $900 dollars. I know the problem is just a bad o-ring or rubber packing washer. I looked up the manufacture's website to find a repair kit, but they do not offer one, so I am at a stopping point. My question is there any aftermarket repair kits that will work with this sillcock? Thanks for any help or info.

If I'm not mistaken, you need to let the association deal with this.

I was told by the association that it was my problem.
