How long do you leave it sitting on 50-60psi each time? Reading it as essentially 48 hours at that pressure, the beer should be way over carbonated. If it's only on a few minutes or something then it wouldn't get any real carbonation into it unless you're using the rocking back and forth method.
I also lost about half a gas bottle at one point due to a leaky manifold valve but since fixing that issue have had no leaks in the system at all. A 6.8kg cylinder lasts me almost a year, gas on 24/7/365.
 
I do the slow carbonation and it worked, but I have purchased a corny lid that only has the gas in and a .5 micron stone. They say you can do the 12 psi and leave it and the keg will carbonate in hours. Will probably try it out when I get back from my next swing see how it goes
