I just went to pull a pint, and nothing came out. I check the regulator, and it reads 0psi. This is my first keg, and I have only pulled a hand full of pints from it, so I know its a leak somewhere. Can I fill the tank, hook it all up, and check for leaks with the beer still there? What if its a leak from the corny, then what? Any help is appreciated.
 
Hi,

You are going to have to get it filled to check for leaks. Fill it up, start checking from the leaks from the CO2 tank down. If the leak is on the keg, relieve the pressure, fix the leak(new o ring, reset the connector etc..) and you should be good to go
