If your keg is leaking co2, your co2 tank should be empty.

If you have little head, either the beer is undercarbonated, or the glassware has a film on it.

Oh I got you. So I should keep my CO2 tank all the time?

Yes.

If you are sure you aren't leaking CO2 out of your kegs or connections, then it is best to keep the CO2 on all the time IMO.
If you are leaking CO2, find and correct the leak. CO2 isn't cheap.
