My keg is leaking from the gas pop it. The small inner circle is where i can see the bubbles coming from. Does that mean i need to replace it or is there a way to fix it.

Hook up the gas line, and rotate it 90 degrees, remove and see if it leaks again.
Changing the poppet is the better fix, though.

I've started replacing mine with these: http://morebeer.com/products/universal-poppet-homebrew-kegs.html?gclid=CPfixYu70rwCFRSFfgodlSgAxg

So i was messing around and i pushed the small eye hole in the middle in and wiggled it and now no more leaking. I am still getting a replacement just in case but I wonder why it got stuck and was acting up?

It's a really quick fix. Plan to keep a few around for such a case. Use KegLube on the tiny O rings when re-assembling them.
