   Fix the picture or the leak?   
      
   The leak goes away when your turn the faucet off.   
   It only leaks when I have he have nozzle turned off   
   (back pressure).  Hose nozzle off, no leak.   
      
   The picture:   
       --> Gimp   
         --> Filters   
           --> Enhance   
             --> Sharpen
