I recently got this keg from CL. Leaks like a u know what. I have spare post rings and dip tub rings but these posts r leaking from the base on the keg. The dip tube and gas posts are female and male threaded connections. They have another ring where they make contact with the keg and that is where it leaks. You can see the ring on 1st pic on top of dip tube. Does anyone know what size or ring these are?

Anyone know anything about this keg? Or where to find replacement parts?

Also, the keg lid is like nothing I've seen. It doesn't have those leg looking grommets when tightening down. Anyways, the bleeder valve is also leaking so I took it apart and the rubber stopper is crumbling apart. Looks like a mushroom in the 3rd picture and pulls out completely. Does anyone know where to find this part?

That is what is called a racetrack lid. They tend to be of a much older generation of kegs. They use the same size o-rings though. You can look at a site like chi company, they typically have a lot of parts for these older kegs.

The first thing I would do about the posts is figure out the o-ring sizes, and get replacements for those to see if they can now seal up.

I would either get a new racetrack lid, or see if chi company or other vendor has a replacement for the pressure relief valve.
 
Thank you for the info gnef!
I'll look through the site and try n find something for these posts.
Cheers
