Have always had a little air bubble in my beer line but the other day it went out of control. The system is balanced and the leak is coming right from the liquid post. I have changed the disconnect to no avail. I tightened the post to no avail. So, pulled the posts apart (they're the new squat kegs) and I think there's an O-ring missing. What do you think?
First, here's a pic of of the keg to dip tube. There's an O-ring there so, no problem.

Next is a pic of the post and poppit. Once again an O-ring so no leaks there.

Here's the problem I think with the keg post to the dip tube. This is stainless on stainless with no O-ring between.

Also when you tighten the post onto the keg, it tightems down all the way to the keg so how do I even know that the O-ring in the first pic above is even sealing?
My schwarzbier is unpourable so I want this fixed now (stamping my feet and holding my breath!)
THe only solution I can think of is to add another O-ring on top of the dip tube but this means the poppit spring will be pressing straight onto this O-ring which doesn't sound great.
Any ideas? Is there an O-ring missing or is there something I just don't know?
Free schwarzbier for anyone with the answer!
