Sounds like you have way too much oil in it.

Open it up, clean it out.

Put a few drops on the bolt and linkage arm. Then  few drops in the asa.

Did you pour the hole bottle in your gun? If so, you aren't suppose to do that, a few drops will do.

Leaking oil? Where in the marker is this oil resouvior that sprays oil out every seam. The only oil in the marker is the oil you put there. A few drops (one or two) through the ASA and on the hammer "O" ring. Maybe a drop or so on the power tube where the forward bolt slides back and forth. Other than that there should be no oil "leaking" from your marker.

Now a broken ball can dump paint into the action which can "leak" out through the marker's seams. Several day old broken paint can do that. That may look like "oil."
