6 inch faucet
I have a kitchen faucet that leaks from the cold water side. I have replaced the cartridge and the seating ring. It works for about a month then starts leaking again. I fear I'll have to replace the faucet. The problem is that it's old. The faucet is six inches from center of each handle. I can't seem to find a proper replacement anywhere. Replacing the entire sink is not in the budget. What are my options?

No idea what brand. Some details on the faucet. It is deck mounted. 6"centers. It has 3 holes. Supply lines come up the the handles on each side. Middle hole has a line running to the sprayer.

There are quite a few kitchen faucets that are three separate pieces and can be mounted at any spacing. Usually a single handle flow/temp control, the spout, and a sprayer.

Searching for 3 piece kitchen faucet will find you more options....

I personally do not recommend a side sprayer. The easiest sprayers to use are the pull-down.
I would purchase a two hole faucet, and fill the other hole with a soap dispenser or filter faucet.
Here's an example, Delta 980T.

Pay no attention to the very high MSRP, Delta and Moen faucets are available everywhere.

The pull-down sprayer is much easier to use. The spout swivels, and the sprayer only needs pulled down a little to spray all areas of the sink.
The side sprayer is harder to use. The hose must be pulled up and over. Also most side sprayers have a hose that's too stiff IMO.
