The leak rate is determined by the mask (Vent Flow Rate) and the pressure.....not the machine.
There should have been a Vent Flow Rate chart in the user manual you received with the mask, which will tell you what the acceptable rate will be at various pressures.

If you don't have it, you can download the manual from one of these sites (considering you didn't specify your gender).
