    CO2 Leak Somewhere in Kegerator!

    I guess I would work from the tank out as others mentioned before checking the keg posts. Shut off different areas and see if pressure drops so you can rule them out. If you get through all that and need to check posts I would visually inspect each o ring and retighten the posts. My problem...
