i can think of few things

your gauge is off and the pressure is too low

your vavle is defective

your cup seal isnt sealing

your vlave is too small of t;he RT power tube

I suggest squirting some oil in th valve and putting the o-ring form the rt valve on to the lp valve
they may be different sizes and also when wou do that put some lithium lube on it

did you use teflon tape on the threads?

Yeah, the threads not being sealed could easily be the problem

well i took my gun into the tippmann office in torrance california (since i live 10 min away from them) and got my gun back on friday,i played with it today and it worked fine.the reason it was leaking was because the low pressure valve was defective.
