examine the hose coupling, from the diagram it seems as if there are two slide clips to lock the hose to the faucet, perhaps either they are not engaged, or were already in the 'locked' position when you installed the faucet.
Are you using a softener in your home? Sometimes hard water deposits can clog up the cartridges and create the problems you such described. Im not sure about the lock/button issue though since I have never used this particular Delta faucet myself, but with one problem, it can usually cause many others.
Try replacing the cartridge on the Delta faucet first, Here is a link to the replacement one from the Delta site. http://www.deltafaucet.com/repairparts/details/RP50587.html

I hope this will help please go to this web site for a downloadable parts link. If it is leaking from the spout replace the seats and springs to correct the problem. Turn water off and remove handle with a 1/8" allen wrench and remove retaining collar to access the ball assembly to remove the seats and springs.
The parts page on this link will give you a break down and hope this will help.
easy fix, shut-off water at under-counter angle valves and water meter, pop-out the blue and red insert located on the front of the handle of the faucet, turn faucet on to relieve pressure, loosen allen screw under red and blue insert, pull handle up, remove nut under handle, remove plastic insert gasket and stem under the nut, notice two rubber gaskets.... remove them and the springs behind them and replace, when putting the insides of the faucet back in pay close attention to the notches and grooves,,,, the parts only go back one way....
you need to disconnect from under the faucet and then pull it all the way out just like if you were pulling it out to use the spray. There may be a big weight on the hose to help it back into the spout when placing the head back....you will also have to take that off to pull it through.
Debris in the valve is a fairly common cause for stopping water flow in single lever valves. You can first check the aereator and remove any debris that may be there at the faucet itself. Then you can try to remove the ball at the control lever. You have to be careful and make sure that you do not drop any parts. Especially if this is a recent installation, you may find a large piece of something there.
Turn the water off at the faucet, remove the handle and the retaining nut that is apart of the trim. You will see where you can use a wrench to remove it. The ball assembly will come right out and you can replace the washers right below it. Put it back together and if needed, tighten the tension ring that is on the retaining nut (usually grey or white in color) so it won't leak water around the ball stem. Good luck.
