when my air compressor reaches the max pressure the switch turns off but air comes out from a little hole where the quarter inch pipe goes up to the switch. Not sure if this right as my old switch didn't do it. If i push down the red button switch to turn it off once again air leaks from the little hole. I can't work it out why it doing this as all it does is keep the pump running.
its to let the presure out of the cilinder, because else your compressor wont be able to start again, you can try it yourself, just let un run, and about half a bar before it stops, pull out the plug, wait a second, and plug it back in. then youll notice it isnt able to pick up speed
@myfeeling4you if its leaking constantly from the 1\4 inch pipe its just the check valve, its the piece thats at the other end of the 1\4 inch pipe along with the main feed from the piston\pump. replace the check valve.

@lasergeak sure there is,
see if it has a screw on top, if not, just jam the valve with a tyrap or screws :)

@myfeeling4you that is the relieve valve works when the compressor starts. sometimes the relive valve sticks open, therefore air leaks
