    Washer is probaly deformed or worn out. Local co2 guy should have washers for you.

    There was a small washer rubberbanded to it that I saw afterward. I'll try to put it in tomorrow when I get home and hopefully that is the issue.

    That will most likely fix the leak. The nylon washers are good at sealing that joint , so no additional tape or whatnot should be necessary.

    I second that this should fix it. I've gone without it and realized that i had a leak. I put the washer in place and the leak was gone. I'd also recommend that you use a dab of Vasoline on one end of the washer. (I'm assuming you don't have keg lube). This will help hold it in place while you secure the nut.

    I thank you gentlemen, that was the issue and the kegerator is working great. Thanks again for the help, I am looking forward to being a part of this forum.

    When in doubt it's a washer or lack of teflon tape!
