One little advice I can give you is to start the checking procedure simple. You never ever want to hook up everything and check all of them at once for leaks. It will only confuse you even more.

So, first just test out the pump with the tank and the pressure limit switch, and make sure the tank is airtight. See if any part of the tank is leaking.

Then put in the SMC pressure regulator and a single solenoid with an actuator and see if that create any more leaks. I am not too familiar with the pneumatics therefore I don't know if there are anyways to just put in SMC pressure regulator without attaching solenoids.

But anyways, just test one part at a time, then add more components as you go on. Make sure you try out different connection that you are going to use.

I am sure this way somewhere along the line you are going to notice when you add some part the leak start.

At kickoff I've seen the pneumatics setup, and when we turn the pump there wasn't any noticeable leaks, so I am pretty sure you might have connection problem or defected parts.

Contact the manufacturer or look up the web sites if there are any more problems.
