I've done a little plastic welding before. I usually build up an area with plastic and come back and grind it to my liking. I'm not so sure you will get good results with the tail light cover. You may stop the leak though. Also... typically I used an inert gas such as argon or helium as not to introduce any impurities in to the plastic. You really don't need too much air flow... but I don't have any other suggestions with the compressor. Maybe try to weld the tail light without the welding rod. It may reseal itself.
Its a tough call ....but try to practice and you might get a good technique.
Goodluck,
Kirk
