OK, I figured out how to read the data and it looks like my AHI is 3.9 which from what I read is considered successful. However, the leak rate is 18.0 L/min (i think that's how its measured) Is that normal?

Your leak rate looks a bit high, which means your mask probably needs adjusting. Someone who uses the same mask can help you with that.
