okay, so i was at my local pawn shop and i came across a Nova!  It was only $50!  I knew it had a good chance it didn't work, but I still convinced myself to buy it.  Well, I got it home and screwed my 48/3000 in and it had a terrible internal leak.  the leak seemed mostly up at where the front of the sight rail is.  It still functions flawlessly, but the leak is very loud and it takes alot of shots away.  anyone have any idea what is causing the leak?  I'm thinking maybe a bad oring/ internal hose.  I can't figure out how to take it apart.  Right now, i left it at my local Paintball Shop.  Any advice would be very helpful.  Thankyou.

edit: 800th post WHOOHOO!

you need to change the o-ring on the spool.

degas the gun, and take off the air fittings. pop your regulator off of the back by unscrewing the end cap, and with the barrel off, gently ease the spool out of the center with a wooden dowel or something similar. you may need to take off the grip frame, i can't remember if the 700s make you.
