Just installed 4 s/s shanks with perlick taps. Have a leak on my favorite wheat shank. When I open the tap, the ring starts leaking beer.
 
Either you have a bad gasket where that connection is, or you have a piece of gunk under it. You may have over tightened it as well. I often (after cleaning) will put a light coat of CIP Film or Lubri-Film on the gasket to help seal micro gaps...
