I stopped my drip

Yesterday I did two things and today I have no drip. I'm not sure which one did it or if it required the combination of the two.
1) Several months ago I removed my pressure regulator because it had developed a drip. I repaired and reinstalled it with it set to 20psi
2) I also checked the setting of the expansion valve per the instructions on this page:

I found that the pressure was set way too high so I unscrewed the expansion valve until it just opened at 12.5bar. It took at least three turns!
