did you cock the marker prior to attaching your co2? Very often if you will hear a leak coming from that area (actually it is the cup seal not seating correctly and co2 is escaping into the breech) if you don't cock it first.
The other thing to prevent leaks is to put 3-4 drops of gun oil into the ASA and then dry fire the marker. This will lube up all the seals and rings and may seat any slight leaks around the o-rings.
One way to detect leaks is to make a solution of dish soap and water and put it on all the fittings. Look for bubbles forming and that will tell you if you have bad teflon tape around the gauge. If its around the regulator threads, you can put teflon tape on the threads and that might help.
If the leak is in the regulator itself, there may be a seal problem in there. I know the Pure energy reg is notorious for these kinds of leaks, and if the oil in the ASA doesn't seal them, then you need to replace the internal o-rings and re-seat the piston.
Hope that helps.
