You have to look at all of them. Tell us your numbers. If you're spending a significant amount of time leaking at a rate above what your machine can keep up with you need to fix it.
I don't use ResScan, but I think the leak rate graph has a horizontal red line at 24 L/min and the goal is to stay below that line at all times, except perhaps for short periods of time when you're adjusting the mask. If it happens for significant amounts of time while you're sleeping then you've got an issue that needs to be addressed.
