Default Compressor diagnosis?

The patient is a Sears compressor- really a relabeled Campbell Hausfield
VT200001; two cylinder, 2 HP, 20 Gal tank. The unit pumps up and shuts
down as it should. Air is leaking, from the sound of it, at the reed
valves. The tank pressure drops. My guess of the moment is that the
check valve on the tank is leaking. Is my logic flawed?

Thanks,

Ayup. Sure sounds like it.
