Trying to fix the valve block while it is still leaking elsewhere is not ideal.
Sometimes the hose connections just need re seating, or the o rings in the airbags might need replacing.
It is possible a leak could be causing all your problems.
If that doesn't fix the problem, next I would double check your compressor head and make sure everything is seated ok.
The small o ring in the compressor head (under the 2 reed valves) has given out on me a couple of times causing all sorts of weird troubles.
If it is not seated correctly, or has twisted/broken, your eas will not be happy.
Failing that, the next step is probably a valve block rebuild, you can do it yourself, just don't try and rush it, you have to check everything as you go, or you'll be pulling it out again to find any faults. Get a rebuild kit before you pull it apart, the diaphragm is very delicate and will need replacing when you pull it apart.
What makes you say the sleeve is worn after 2 weeks?
