Do you know exactly where the leak is?
If you don't:
Put it in a bathtub full of water when pressurized, bubbles will come from the hole.
Then seal it with epoxy or sealant.
If you do:

Way to stay on topic guys.

Is the valve on the right way? (Look for arrows molded into the body, they should point toward the barrel)
