If it's not leaking around the stem, you can also just replace the rubber washer. Take the valve apart like handymanct said, and remove the screw on the back of the stem to get the old washer off. The washers come in different sizes and are either flat or cone shaped.

You can get a washer assortment from places like Lowe's (here's one example) or a hardware store.
You might also want to grind the valve seat while it's apart. Look inside the valve where the washer presses against the opening and see if it's corroded or pitted. If it is, the valve won't seal well even with a new washer. You can use a faucet seat grinder like this (possibly available at a hardware store) to smooth the surface.
