I have a keg with an attachment to take an s30 cylinder. This morning I noticed it's cracked! It's on the lid itself, I just fitted a new O-ring after the old one's number had been called. As it stands, the keg's holding pressure. I do have another keg that's almost free, should I swap the lids around, or is this probably fine if it's holding pressure?
 
If it's holding the pressure I don't see you have a problem... or am I missing something?
 
At least it's the lid - just buy another one - chances are with an old O ring, you were tightening it up too much to try and get a seal and that may be why it's cracked now.
