I have a very minor leak dripping from the seal where the filter splits in half. Can this part be over tightened possible ( I used a impact wrench). Also the release valve at the top had a minor leak as there is a small crack, is anyone familiar with the thread to replace this with a brass t and then add my own release valve and pressure gauge.

You need to undo the band clamp and reseat the o-ring with lube. DO NOT use an impact wrench to tighten. Use a manual driver and tighten slowly. Every couple of turns you should use a soft mallet and bang on the clamp to help seat it. Using an impact driver can cause uneven seating of the clamp and you can accidentally strip the brass well nut.
