It is leaking just above the valve, when the pipe narrows. The entire hose, spring, pipe and spout is connected via friction fitting, is a hex screw holding it in place. I can take it out, but not sure what to do to fix the leak. Plumbers tape, silicone grease?

Okay. Thanks again. I have attached a pic. Does it look like two orings on there that I should replace? Maybe replace the orings and use silicone grease?

I don't see any mention or indication of that pipe being removable from the base fitting.
If it's pressed in it may have been soldered.
Does it swivel/turn ?
Thanks for replying. Yes, it does swivel. Ya agreed, the diagram doesn't make it seem removable Maybe I broke it by removing it. There is a screw seemlying holding it in place. Once loosened is wasn't too difficult to pull it out. Would a pic of it removed be helpful?
My garbage disposal is leaking from side. There is a hole right next to discharge pipe. I have attached a picture where I marked the hole. The material where hole is located seems to be plastic.
What is this hole? Is it weeping hole or is it just a damage?
Thank you for reading my post. I appreciate your response in advance.

It was working fine Sunday. I can turn the wheel with a long spoon no problem. Reset button isn't popped, though I did notice a small leak there which has to be fairly recent.
Disposal is a 1/2 HP badger I installed 14 years ago, so I've definitely gotten my money out of it, but seems a shame to replace it if it's something easy.
