The pressure is going to be affected by which side of the system the leak is on... high or low... there is probably a ' high side cut off switch ' which should limit the high side pressure .... obviously.....
So the time you are running the system and the side the leak is on are major factors...
Have you tried just ' snugging' up all the o ring joints you can reach ? ( use two wrenches and what are called ' line wrenches ' to do this safely...
