Hey guys

Today I found my drip tray overflowing with beer and a decent sized puddle of beer on the carpet under the kegerator. No faucets were currently dripping, but my first thought was I didn't close a tap completely and now I had to deal with 3-4 gallons of beer in the carpet. However when I checked inside, all of my kegs were still mostly full, but my CO2 tank was completely empty...

This is a fresh 5# co2 tank, so there's no way it should be empty yet. The CO2 loss can't be due to an open faucet if none of the kegs emptied, right? I'll troubleshoot the co2 leak once I refill, but I'm wondering why all the beer leaked out?

I have all perlick 525 faucets. Do these faucets leak when pressure is lost?

Thanks!
