A note- I watched the guy at the shop tighten the valve and then hit it with the mallet so it was tight.
Anyway, onto the verdict!
I went to the LDS, and they drained the last 100psi out of the tank, and upon unscrewing the valve, we saw the problem, salt buildup between the lip of the tank and the valve (exteriorly)
Guess ill start rinsing the tank more thoroughly. It was coated with salt :-\
Drain tank, take the valve off, check the thread and o-ring are clean, check its the correct o-ring and replace the valve. Its not that uncommon for neck o-rings to leak especially in new tanks.
Simple to do at home.
