Ya when I blow into my trumpet to much air is coming out and being unused. This trumpet has so far taken me 3 and a half hours to fix though. but How can I fix the leak?

It could be coming out from your spit valve, but that's just a guess.

I suggest taking it to your local music repair shop and asking them to take a look at it. Unless you really know what you're doing it's risky to try and fix it yourself...you don't want to mess it up even more.
