If you are lossing a good amount of air then the compressor will continuously all the time you did not here the air leaking out at all before? The relay failure can be stuck on if there is a spike in power or loss in power when the system is on. The relay arks a little when it switch on and off so it can weld itself together. Good luck hope you get this fixed.

The tank cracking might be caused by the compressor continuously pumping. I would attempt to put a gauge at the tank to monitor it. If it is a relay failure the compressor should not kick on, it should be toggled by your pressure switch. My guess would be a faulty pressure switch that led to your tank issue.

new tank on the way, new pressure switch already installed, should hopefully be a smooth fix.
