It could be several things. If it is coming from where the gas line goes into the coupler *thing that goes into the keg" than you can try tighten the clamp with a screwdriver if there is one there. You can also put some dishsoap and water area the hiss to pin point the leak. Also are you putting the little washer that goes between the regualtor and the gas tank? This can be a big problem too. Good luck.

yeah, there are half a dozen places at the coupler where the co2 can leak. like ed said, spray it down with soapy water to pinpoint the leak, then you know what to fix.

Do you know what type and brand of coupler you are utilizing? Please advise.

check the body washer on the bottom of your couple that is a likely suspect also

Is there a washer between the coupler and the hex nut/tail piece? There should be. Tape is fine but one good washer is better. Not two, just one.
