I am trying to eliminate a persistent CO2 leak on a ball lock keg that I've had for years. It is leaking at the bottom of the liquid post. I tried replacing the o-ring on the dip tube a couple of times. When that didn't work, I put two o-rings on. Both times, I applied keg lube liberally. But no go.
I know it sounds crazy but the soapy water test makes it look like it's leaking where the intake for the dip tube meets the body of the keg, rather than under the post. I've never heard of such a thing and some google searches don't show anyone else describing it. But I'm wondering if it's possible for the keg body to crack where the intake is joined. Have any of you experienced this? Even if that is not the cause, I'm still stuck with a leak I can't seem to eliminate. I've attached a video showing the leak bubbling in the soapy water to illustrate. Thanks in advance for any help; I'm losing my mind over this.
