RE: Leaks
Leaks happen anywhere there is a connection, but can also happen at the mouth.  Some of us open our mouths when we sleep, and you can guess the rest.  But at the periphery of our masks, where the hose connects to the mask, where the hose connects to the Climate Line heated hose, if that is your setup, and where the hose enters the machine.   Those should be almost negligible.  It could also be a hole in the hose itself, but they usually reveal themselves before long.  A small one will be compensated for by the machine, as are some mouth leaks or mask leaks.

Once you get your charts properly displayed here, we still won't be able to tell you what is leaking.  We'll only know THAT you have something leaking.

Your chart should have a line in the leak graph set for your machine type, assuming it is correctly entered into your profile so that the software can use it. Above that line is potentially a problem.  Below that line, any peaks should show that you have leaks but that the machine was able to compensate and maintain pressure/flow.
