It depends on the kind of compressor, and where the leak is coming from. On my compressor, I get this sort of leak from the quick connect fittings. It's not a problem as long as you don't mind listening to the compressor run more often. Try moving the hose or the connection a bit to see if it stops, maybe when the connectors are perfectly in line.
If the leak is coming from an air tool, then that may be more serious. An internal leak in an air nailer, for example, could mean that the nails don't get set as deep as they should, and you'll have to finish driving them with a hammer. This will waste your time, and could leave tool marks on a finished surface.

The best way to find an air leak is to hook the hose up to the compressor, immerse it in a tub of some sort and turn the compressor on paying close attention for bubbles.

It sounds like your compressor has a air leak, turn it on and do a visual on hoses and fitting including the check value in the bottom of the tank.
Good Luck,

Abnormal there seems to be a hose or fitting leak which will allow the system to depressurize and if you run it that way it will burn up your compressor too.

You have a leak somewhere, you'll have to find it. Run your hand around all the connections and check the drain petcock. (that's usually it)
