I'm running into the same problem. I have the Kohler Vinnata 691 kitchen faucet. I have replaced the cartridge in the handle at the base of the faucet and am still finding water leakage as before. Are there other parts I need to check?

Leaking Kohler Vinnata kitchen faucet.

you must use genuine kohler parts,if you got something from lowes or home depot that was some other brand they usually leak. also look for calcium build up inside the valve body,you can use 1500 grit wet sand paper to remove it just be carefull and dont sand too much,then apply water proof plumbers grease inside the valve body befor you install the new cartridge.

How do I open the body of K-10430 apart to replace the valve cartridge kit that's leaking

The handle has a allen set screw loosen that until the handle comes off then the bonnet nut will unscrew revealing the bonnet cap and washer the cartridge should be under that most kohler's require a special tool to remove cartridge(turn water to faucet off prior to working on faucet,also note how everything is removed it needs to be replaced in same order especially the cartridge,also you should use plumbers grease to coat all seal when replacing everything).
