Maybe I'll swap the poppets between the 2 posts and see if that helps at all. If not I'll just pump it into a different keg and carb.

A week later I connected the CO2 at carbonating pressure (11psi) and heard some more gas rushing into the keg and heard gas leaking at the disconnect. I can hold the disconnect and not have it leak, but if I let go of the disconnect I can hear it leak again.
I didn't leave the CO2 connected to the keg so I'm lucky that I have not lost a bottle to a leaky keg/disconnect

Ok. Do you have the plastic diconnects? If so, maybe the top screw in maybe loose or you are missing the gasket inside of the screw in part. There is a small rubber gasket between the screw in part and the "seat" where it contacts the body of the disconnect.
Another shot in the dark.
