Aloha,
I don't know the specifics about your compressor but most electric motor driven compressors have a pressure cut off switch, one way check valve, and an unloader valve, and a pressure relief valve. It may not have all of them so it depends on your make of compressor. They all have a relief valve in case the motor doesn't cut off when it reaches the cut off point. On small compressors, the pressure cut off switch may contain the unloader valve and check valve all built into the switch. The unloader valve unloads the pressure in the cylinder head so it will start up easier when compressor starts up. How many cylinders does this compressor have? Does it have two? From your posting, you are saying that it is leaking from the manifold? Does it have a pipe from the manifold to the tank? If this is a gas engine driven compressor, after a preset amount of pressure is reached, it just may unload the excess air if it doesn't have an idle feature.
