Good day,

I have been experiencing a leak in my bathtub.
It is set up that there are 2 handles on the side and then the faucet in the middle with a spout on top of it and it is mounted in the wall.
The leak is coming from the back but underneath where there is a hole.
But it seems to only leak when the spout is pulled up and the water is being directed through the shower
Could anyone tell me what might be causing the leak?
I will look into replacing it but would would like to know what I would need to buy to fix the issue.
The picture shows the hole that the water is leaking from but only when the water is running.
