Crown Leaking

I have not shot this thing for at least a year due to Covid etc etc.

It was about 250 bar or so the last time I saw it. Stored in a gun vault.

When I took it out it was totally empty. I hooked up the tank and air goes in, but leaks very bad somewhere around the front of the gun. Air goes in and it fires fine with the hose hooked up. Is it common for leaks to appear when stored? Should I totally rebuild it?
Am at a loss on what to do.
I’m in Edmonton area. My eyes aren’t what they used to be and I’m not sure about taking it apart.

fill it with air then either use a spray bottle with some dish soap in it
spray around some of the fittings and other areas you can get to and see
if any small air bubbles appear, if its from the fill fitting or gauges either snug it up or empty
the FX crown and replace O-rings or the fill fitting itself
