I think I suffed the seals, I soak them in sodium p over night i read that you can destroy the seals with it. they work Ok and then a few days later they leak out the spout or out the top of the handels.

what should I be cleaning them with and how much for new seals?
 
Try national homebrew. Martin should be able to fix you up with new seals.
 
What Brad says but unsure how you can stuff up O-rings with sodium perc?
Have you tried a little food-grade lube as these problems were common with older style Perlicks.
Lube worked well with my old Perlick 575's.
 
agree with Pete, a bit of keg lube or any other food grade lube might be all you need.
 
Thanks for the tips guys I am not shure that lube will help as its not a little drip it's a constant flow will take Em apart again and see if i can see anything. Is there a recommended pressure to keep the tap sealed?
