If you can't find the leak in your connections or hoses, try to throw a check valve upstream of the reservoir if you haven't already. Some compressors can back leak.

It's pretty loud acutally. With the tank it barely comes on while running one locker or even two at once.

Just finished it up today. Painted the brackets black and got everything remounted. The system consists of: ARB dual compressor (CMKTA12), ARB locker manifold kit (171503), three ARB switches (compressor, front locker, rear locker----these were included with the compressor and lockers), a 2 gallon ViAir tank, two homemade brackets, and a few push lock fittings and some 3/8" hose. The ARB kit was a breeze to install. Very nice kit and the instructions were great. I wanted the tank out of the elements to keep it from getting beat up and rusting. Shouldn't be a problem under the seat as long as I don't let moisture build up and cause rust. Here are some pics.
Bracket for compressor and manifold:
This shows bracket mounted without compressor, but I mount the compressor first and then install them as a unit:

Can I ask you to post a diagram of your air system. I'm curious about the relationship between the tank, arb solenoid, and lockers. I also have an arb twin with a Viair tank and I'm not sure if I want to do arb lockers or ox. If you could elaborate on how those components come together I'd appreciate it! Thanks!
