| Someone quote this if I am wrong, but when I put oil into my gun through the CO2 tank adaptor (too much oil of course) it has a little leak, once I screw the CO2 tank in. I would think that if you shoot the gun a couple of times the leak should stop. First try cocking your gun before you screw in the CO2. Check and make sure your O-ring is in good condition, if it has a microscopic scratch on it, it is bad and needs replaced. If these things don't work you will have to see what someone else suggests to you. |

Try tightening the gas line on both ends if Zherdev's idea doesn't work. -------------

Put a lot of drops in the ASA and shoot it a few times without the barrel on. It might not be a fix right away, but it might fix itself overnight once the o-rings suck in the oil. |
