Leaking Perlick 525ss

[hwall95]

Hi guys, anyone had any troubling with 525ss leaking?

Woke up two mornings in the last week to find my tap top off and my drip tray full of beer.. I took it out if the fridge and checked it was leaking for sure, turn out it drains pretty fast. Starting to thing this may of been the cause to my recent gas leakage..

Anyway I brought them new off some dude on ebay (hindsight says I should I paid a little extra and brought it off a homebrew shop) last October so it's fairly new. My best guess is for some reason the seal needs replacing. Just wondering whether this happened to anyone else? I've only used it for around 6 months.

Extra: it leaks from the tap faucet, not anywhere else. Some reason it's not sealing properly.

Is the keg at low pressure?

Depends what low means. It's sitting about 6-8psi

Mine used to drip when the pressure was low in the keg. The pressure was helping it to seal. Just change the seals, they are only a couple of bucks a kit.
