I have a leak on my sankey coupler. It was fine until I went to change out my 5' beer line to a 10' line. It is leaking below the beer nut on the out line. Any idea what I did? I think when I tightened the nut I twisted the coupler. I took the line off and made sure it is on right.
 
is the longer line applying more torque on the nut? twisting it with its weight and form, maybe?
 
No, I think I did something to my coupler when tightening it down
 
Yes I took it back apart to check. It looks like the leak is on the shaft below the nut.
 
Well I found the issue. I figured out how to disassemble the coupler and it has 3 o rings I cleaned up everything and soaked them it all in hot water and it works for now. Tomorrow I will get new seals.
