    Key on engine off would not have anything to do with comp or governor, My vote is the fan hub too.
    As far as you hearing it, I can not hear air leaks unless they are major, I generally have to get someone else to listen .

    Update I changed my governer it was nasty inside before it would purge around 137psi that pretty high I think now it's around 132 and drops to 116 before compressor kicks on I was able to pin point where the leak is coming from I sprayed soap no bubbles but used garden hose to hear I can hear it from see pic I don't know what that is

    I know, I read that. Simple Green is better and already made and can be used for other things
