Default Air Compressor Leaks

I have a 2hp pancake air compressor that won't hold tank pressure.
Than is, if I run it to full capacity of the tank (115PSI I think),
and turn the compressor off, the tank quickly goes to zero pressure.
Naturally I figure the leak is gaskets or some other type of seal. Is
it worthwhile for me to try to determine where it is leaking? How
difficult is it to find repair kits and to actually do a repair?
I can get a new one for $100.

Thanks

My leaks usually turn out to be trash in the regulator. Easily
replaced.
