If its dripping from the handle stem , a common problem is a worn nylon bearing in the stem of the crank . Sometimes they just dont sit right from the beginning and leak ,or they wear over time from use, just replace it .

there should be a set screw on the side of the handle to release it.
Just take it apart and replace the 0-ring. Try to match it up at a hardware store or.....
If you still have the manuals that came with the antenna it will show you the breakdown of parts...if not google the make/model for the parts breakdown.

On p 7 , 'ordering parts' package #7 you will see an o-ring that was also replaced when my nylon washer was replaced. That o-ring leaking water was probably the reason why water traveled down to the nylon washer. Both washers were replaced at the same time so im not 100% sure which one of them caused the leak.

Look into that o-ring if the other things don't work.
