i havn't fired my A-5 in a few months, went out shooting yesterday just for some fun and noticed that every time i fired it, a small bit of Co2 was also coming out just above the trigger. Mostly felt it with my trigger finger.  what i need to know is if this is normal for an A-5, and i just never noticed it before, or, do i have a faulty O-ring somewhere.

It's normal.  The blowback gases have to go somewhere, and it just may be more noticeable because it's colder (??).

This is perfectly normal. Its the blowback gases like he said. It is easier to notice in the cold; especialy if you suck up some liquid Co2.

Well then, most likely an O-ring needs to be replaced.
