I opened up my kegerator to see my keg leaking between the rubber and metal. Is this the end of the line or can I repair it? 3 gallons cornys are hard to come by...

Was there any sign of leakage or spillage around the posts or the lid? Any beer that leaks from those can ooze under the rubber and emerge below it.

If no signs of obvious leaks from those sources, when you empty the keg try pressurizing it then submerge it in the tub and see if the leak is in the open or if it's under the rubber.

If the latter you'll have to decide if it's worth digging for it and silver soldering it shut...

Cheers!
