Just curious as to if such a product exists that will not leak or hold the air the longest in a 12 gram C02 cartridge and have enough power to eliminate small game.

The QB's will hold co2 indefinitely. Old Crosman and Benjamins will too. The QB's are actually a copy of the old Crosman 160's, there's actually a couple of them on ebay right now up for bid, I'm tempted to get one but pretty happy with what I have right now as far as guns are concerned.

A properly sealed CO2 rifle should not leak so you may want to concentrate more on energy and accuracy.
Wayne read my mind.
I have two vintage 160's, a 2nd var and a 3rd. Both have been resealed (o-rings) and they hold CO2 in the safe for months... they are strong and accurate so would easily take small pests.
I do not have a QB78 but there is no reason to believe they would not act the same, they are a Chinese clone of my 3rd variant.
From the Chinese options, I have a Xisico XS60-C from Mike M. at Flying Dragon that I absolutely love it's accuracy, and it is a hard hitter... but I believe the 160's are
stronger
shooters. The trade off is they are gas hogs by comparison, so less shots per cart.

Not sure I can qualify that.
Have several I can put away for months and still have useable co2...but that doesn't mean it hassn't leaked co2.
Co2,at a given temp., will maintine the same pressure no matter how little or how much liquid co2 is still in the tank. So even though I might have put it away with a freash-popped 12 gram cartridge of co2, when I dug it out months later (or even a year later), would still shoot to expected speeds (even though it could only be 3 or 4 grams of co2 left in the 12gr. cartridge).
So I'm going to "punt" on this one....depends on how well the seals seal, what the sealing o-rings are made of, and the luck of the draw.
