losing air pressure

this is the first time since our rookie year we are using pneumatics and we run into problems with losig air pressure in our system. We are planning to precharge our tanks and we assume that about 7-10 min will pass between when we charge the tanks and when the match will actually begin. However we lose about 30PSI in 10 min, leaving our systenm short on air. We are using pneumatics for 2 AM shifters and our tube gripper. All cylinders have small bore and throw, but we still thnk air shortage is a problem.

My question is anone else having leakage problems in their systems or do we need to reassembel are system with more teflon tape?
