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

Quickly sounds like a big leak. Can you hear it's location?

Thanks everyone!

Got it 95% fixed. Replaced one seal on the air line coming out of
the tank. Teflon should take care of the rest.

Sure glad I have friends out there.
