darren h-
Did your tap adapter come with seals or gaskets? I had a similar problem just last week when my keg began leaking from the connector. As it turned out, the black rubber gasket fell off on the way from the sink to the keg. As a general rule, there should be some sort of gasket or seal any place where metal-on-metal contact would take place. The type of keg and coupler is also important.
Attach a photo of where your leak is occurring and we may be able to show you the required gasket. I hope that helps,
