Hey the other day after I got home from a big scenario game my tank was close to empty so I took probably 10 shots and emptied it off. But then I decided to tune my r/t so i grabbed a new full C02 tank and hooked it up and all of the sudden I was getting a leak where my expansion chamber connects to my gun. So i took my gun apart to look for something wrong and there was nothing wrong. So I put it together and tried it out and it still leaked.

Please can you help me out?

Here is an okay description i guess kinda a bad drawing but here is a kinda idea of where the leaqk is coming from.

Make sure your tombstone is completly in and well sealed. Perhaps a sudden change in pressure when you put on the tank knocked it loose. Also check the o-ring on your x-chamber. They can give too.

Its most likely your tombstone though. Oil it and make sure it clicks in.

check to see if the or-ing is still in place inside the tombstone slot on the valve. Its a big culprit for popping out when disassembled.

Remember, first the spring, then the washer, then the o-ring.
