Hi,
first off, what is your pressure.... the higher the pressure, the more likelihood of leaks.
A good test is to take the mask, put it up to your face without the headgear. Turn on your machine to your pressure, and see if the mask will seal just by you holding it. If you can get it to seal, how much pressure from your hand do you need? If you cannot get a good seal this way, you probably need a different mask. Or if it seals and you need alot of pressure that may not be good also. The mask should fit, not leak, and be relatively comfortable.
