This is a lot of juice to lose. If it's not leaking to the ground, it's going into the crankcase or out the tailpipe. The system should be tested up to 15 psi.
Try pumping to 5 psi and then start the car and you'll likely see the gauge rise further.
I usually test the system including the cap by Teeing into the reservoir hose.
