Going into the faucet;
Pipe or tubing?
Iron, brass, copper?
threaded or soldered joint?

The rubber tape Griff linked will work if the size of the two pieces are similar. If the faucet is much larger so that the effect is the same as a pipe going into a wall and the tape can't get a purchase on both sides of the leak, it won't.

If you can get it clean and dry, marine-tex or some other marine epoxy, like seakdivers suggested, will work.

Hey, wait a minute....

The pipe connection between the water supply and the faucet assembly is letting out almost as much water as is going in the tub itself.
It only leaks when the shower is on? If it was leaking between the water supply and the faucet assembly, it would be leaking all the time. It has to be after the valve if it's only when you shower.
Look again.
