Pressure gauge venting

Hello
Just a quick question here since its on my mind
On our 2013 bot, the pressure regulator will beging to "vent" or leak, not sure which, when we keep a dedicated supply hooked up to it ie a shop compressor. Is that normal? The holding pressure for both the tanks on the robot are 120psi and the regulator is set to 60 psi (probably need to up the psi because the piston is a bit weak). There isn't a leak anywhere and the shop compressor is set to put out 120psi through to the robot ( we hook it up through a quick disconnect system ) is there a problem with the regulator or somewhere else? This isn't urgent, the bot performs just fine, he has no onboard compressor. I just would like to figure out if there's a hidden problem I'm not seeing
