Question Leaking Kitchen Sink/Faucet

I installed a new kitchen sink faucet about five months ago. Since then, it starts to leak every so often. The water collects under the faucet in the storage cabinet right below it.

When it does start leaking, it doesn't stop until I tighten the nuts/bolts underneath or caulk it. I've even taken the faucet off, re-caulked, and put it back on. That will take care of the leak for only a few days, then it will start again. This has happened more than five times in the past five months. I don't know what to do at this point. Aside from tightening and caulking, is there anything else I should be doing?

Thanks for your help.

Cool

Exactly where is the leaking coming from?
A connection?
What type of supply lines are you using?
