Yep, you have a bad cartridge and a diverter, the handle leaks all come from the cartridge
just remove the handle expose the U clip that keeps the cartridge in place. This is were yo will need a handle puller to extract the old cartridge. When you get it out make sure you clean out the inside befrore you place the replacement unit it. If not the junk will mess up the work you just did.
Make sure you use a food base lube to make surre the new one going in with out cutting O rings.
While you have to spout removed youo will see the diverter and pop that iut and put in a new one and the water to the spray unit will work like new.
Hope this helped you out, Be safe and take care

please take a second to rate us for its the only way if we know what kind of a job we did for you.:)
Take the cartridge out, Place a mug style cup over the open faucet. Now if your arms are long enough you can do it alone. If not have some one under the sink and open the valves both hot and cold.
You might have left junk inside from the old cartridge. Then place your hand on top to cover the hole where the cartridge was and see if water comes out of the spout,
If you done get water out remove the spout and clear ir and put it all back together again.
Be safe. Best of luck
