get a spray bottle put in 5 or 6 drops of dish soap and start spraying man...spray every connection..and go from there if you see bubbles you found your leak

did that everything is tight. i got my check valve at lowes think nmaybe its not air tight. it slowed it down a whole lot but it still leaks slowly.

if you sprayed soapy water on every fitting and saw no bubbles anywhere then your check valve might be bad, you need to buy a good SMC one and not a shitty homedepot one. if it still leaks after getting new check valve...... i guess just deal with it, nothing else could be leaking....
