I was working on my keggerator today while the critter was napping and heard a leak. I narrowed it down to the lid on one of my kegs. I tried everything to fix it, but couldn't real get a satisfactory result. I tried:
- keg lube on the o ring
- turning the o ring
- turning the lid

But the leak seemed to persist, and in one spot. Any guesses? Bad lid? Bad o ring? Bad inside rim?

swap the lid with another keg and pressurize both kegs and then you would know if it was the lid or rim.
