The context does not mention a specific gasket or valve problem related to the compressor running at about 22 psi after being low on oil. However, excessive oil consumption may result from piston ring and cylinder wear or damage, which could affect pressure. If the compressor fails to reach the maximum pressure of 115 psi, the pressure switch may need adjustment or could be defective.
Therefore, a worn piston ring, damaged cylinder, or pressure switch issue is more likely than a gasket or valve problem based on the provided information.
