you cant have too much oil. it may get a little annoying having your gun  all slippery, but just wipe out whats leaking. next time you oil though, use a q-tip and put oil on all moving parts.

air-tool oil should be fine as long as its not petrolium based, which will wear away your o-rings quickly. read the ingrediants.

the best oil however is hoppes oil.

The only real problem you are going to run into from over oiling is dirt. Oil is a dirt magnet, and it will gum up your gun over time if you use too much.

Air tool oil is okay, it shouldn't harm the seals, and it cleans up more easily than other types. Just keep the outside of your gun wiped clean, and you should be okay. But one day you are going to have to take it apart and give it a proper cleaning.

I dont really see a problem either. But too much oil inside your gun, good not always be too good, but it cant hurt nothing, it just justs annoying to have oil shooting out of every crevice of your gun. 

I would say, strip it, clean all of the parts. If you know how to, clean the valve..if not, its nothing big, just dont mess with it. But strip the gun, dry it up. put a little.. little. bit of oil in it.. Like 2 drops in the asa for the valave and most parts. and like 1-2 small drops through the cocking area.. and thats about it..I would do what trigger happy said to do with the q-tip, and oil the moving parts, i.e.: trigger, sear, cocking bolt, spring ( dont really do much..), front of the power tube, which the front bolt moves on, and the cocking rod area. This would probly be the best way, and most effective way to oil a gun..

^^^^ what they said , too much oil is more of an annoyance than a hazard . Rather too much oil than not enough , but with a lil practice , you'll get the feel of whats "Just Right" .

Stay away from penetrating oils like WD-40 and such , they contain solvents that will attack your O-rings over time .

When I lubed up my 98C , after cleaning , I normally had a bit of oil work its way out from the areas that vented CO2 , and as I dryfired the marker , I expected to see a small bit of oil come out , I just wiped it down and knew I had sufficient lubrication in my marker .

The only problem you can have is oil getting into your barrel, screwing up accuracy. I would suggest a cotton ball to wipe some of the oil off it it's still oozing all over.

Yeah, just dryfire until the sun comes up. Or the cops.

When you apply, just a drop or two on the rear bolt. Before a game, put a drop or five in the ASA, and, I keep a 9oz on me for this, dry fire like 30 times. You can use that 9oz just for dryfiring and larger tanks for playing...
