See if you can find the leak and re-pressurize it.
Have you tasted the beer? Does it taste oxidized?
Chances are it's fine, just need to be carbed up again. Worse case, just make beer floats with it.

Obviously the keg has a fundamental problem with the lid that should be fixed so it's not relying on gas pressure alone to seal.
Meanwhile, pressurize the keg back up, remove the gas QD, and spray the whole top of the keg with Star San, then look for bubbles...
Cheers!
