Bought some of these regs about 2 years ago.Last august went diving and one of the regs was building pressure which was worryingly venting out of one of the blanking plugs on the first stage .Got it serviced and came back all working fine.Since then I've only done about 20 dives with them this year and the same is happening, so I've just put them in for another expensive service.Is this normal ?

Posiedons are a bugger to service properly. But there's no way it should be venting out of a blanking plug.
Try swapping the plugs around and see if it's still doing it - there might be a defect in the plug itself.

No this is not normal for any reg, check the O'rings on the blanking plugs or take it back to the place who serviced them last.

I usually sell mine come service time and buy new as it works out just as cheap.

Thanks guys.I'll see what happens when they come back from this service.In fairness they were fine last time they came back from being serviced (trying a different place this time),just that my other regs , spiro cryos , seem to go on forever without needing to be touched.
