Hi I have a leak on my kitchen tap it is coming out off the bottom of the cold lever. How do I get the lever off? Also would this tap have a cartridge in the cold & hot or will it be just tap has had it & I need to get a new one?

Unscrew the lever.
This might enable removal of end cap.
There may be a grub screw underneath the handle, if so, remove that and remove cap to access spindle.

Good luck
