I posted on another thread before but I'm re-posting because I think there is another underlying issue.

Background: I kegged an IPA and when I put the keg to pressure, there was CO2 leaking out of the little holes around the PRV.
I bought a new lid, and a little keg lube, and applied both to the keg. However, I'm having the exact same issue. The keg is leaking through the same little holes around the PRV as the last lid. There are two different styles (a firestone lid and an amazon.com replacement http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004VUOEN4/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20)
I've got it at 30 psi but when I bring it down to lower pressures, the same thing occurs, though with a slower hiss.
I can't imagine I have two faulty lids leaking in the exact same way. Could there be another underlying issue causing this? I definitely verified that the only leak is through those PRV holes.
I'm really at a loss here...
