John,
The check valve is new and I put it in the control box.  Next time I air up 
the system I'm going to take the line off the compressor side of the valve 
to see if the valve is actually working.   I've also thought about 
disconnecting the line that goes to the tank and hook up a vacuum pump but I don't 
know if I could get a good enough seal on the fitting.  I've also thought 
about removing the pressure gauge and water trap.

I should have clarified the Soap reference,  I did use kids bubble 
solution.

of kids bubble solution at WalMart for $1? Its bubbles are far longer 
lasting, and much more detectable after wetting a fitting that is a true slow leak.
