The copper tubing may have a leak or a poor connection at the threads. If flared at the end check for any hairline crack at the flared end. The nut that secures the flared end can be cracked as well
It seems unlikely that two valves could both be leaking, but it is not impossible.
There is a relief valve built into the switch to relieve pressure on the head of the compressor so that it does not start against a head of pressure on cut-in. This pipe could be leaking. Make up a weak solution of soapy water and paint this around the area where you suspect the leak to be. The leak will be indicated by the soapy bubbles and this should give you an idea of where to go to repair the leak. Do this test with the power cord removed from the supply socket.

the copper tubing is not the problem. The air leak is coming from the new switch in the the same place the original switch leaked from.
