Propane leak test

Due to a slow leak at one tank, I cleaned the seals on my propane tanks and also replaced the old, stiff pigtails. I have used soapy water on connections in the propane compartment and cannot detect any leaks. If I open a propane tank valve I see green on the regulator. When I close the valve the green mark will stay for at least a couple of hours and then the regulator will turn to red. Once the green stayed overnight but changed to red again the next day. Is this some normal bleed out of the regulator or do I have a leak somewhere? At this point I have no idea what to check.
