Air Compressor Leaks

I have a mini airbrush compressor which I wasn't able to use for a few months.
Today, I was about to use it but suddenly it leaks air.
The compressor works and can produce air.
But after a few minutes, I can hear some air leaking out of the compressor.
I put a red mark on the picture where the air leaks out.
I am not sure what part of the compressor that the air leaks out.
How do I fix it? Please help me.

Hi renzyboi. Please go here http://www.airbrushforum.org/introductions/ and tell us a bit about yourself. What you are into, what equipment you have, and roughly where you are in the world so people can advise where to get parts/supplies if needed.

At first look I would guess there is a failed gasket (or the head needs tightening down more, has it been taken off some how?) some gasket seal might do the trick, you can get it from an automotive store. Or just replace the gasket. I'm no mechanic though, so see what some other members who are more knowledgeable about this stuff think first.
 
Hi Squishy thank you for your reply.
I have tried to tighten the screws but still the air leaks on these spots.
The compressor is still pretty new and I was not just able to use it maybe for 3 months due to my busy schedule.

I will try to unscrew the 4 screws and see if I can do something with it.
