| Prolly a cup seal or an o-ring. I brought mine to my local shop and they fixed it for free. |

| Does it leak all the time including when the gun is cocked? Is it leaking down the barrel as well? Either way it is most likely a valve problem. You can get parts at tippmannparts.com. I don't know how good your friend is with his gun, if you don't know what you are doing you might not want to mess with the valve yourself. Any pro-shop could fix it, or you could even send it to Tippmann to be fixed (most likely for free). |

Go to
And read the next to the last post to understand the power valve and its possible leak points. While in that subject read the rest of the stuff about repair and maintenance of your marker. You could become an expert. -------------
