1/8" of plumbers putty onto the sink from the holes to the edge of the rubber plate before you put down the rubber plate.
you may need to replace the old lower compression nut's bushing and the vertical supply tubes if tightening nut does not stop drip. take along old parts to hardware store. you may need to check top and tighten its parts if it is seeping out a stem.
