Seems there's always going to be something that leaks a little.  My 
experience has been that if you mount the quick-disconnects pointed down 
or angled below the horizontal they'll corrode and begin to leak if not 
stick wide-open.   I have one in my shop right now that's permanently 
got a blow-gun stuck in it because I'm too lazy to change it.
