I have a 8 month old taprite regulator.

And it's leaking very slowly. How concerned should I be? With the CO2 tank OFF, and both output valves OFF, the high pressure gauge goes from 800 psi to 700 psi over 24 hours. It's losing 50-100 psi every 24 hours. This is a *slow* leak, so slow that spraying soap or star san doesn't show any bubbles. I've tried replacing the oring on it but it's still leaking.

Where may it be leaking at? The diaphragm? One of the gauges? Should I get a new regulator? Or can I live with this leak?

Will it be fine to leave the tank off and only turn it on for serving, or will it eventually leak all the co2 out of kegs and make my beer go flat?
