My team has two 98 Customs that don't work. The first one leaks out of where the bottom line hose attaches to the chamber. The second one leaks right out the barrel. They are between 2-4 years old, neither have any upgrades or modding except for new barrels, and they were both cleaned and oiled regularly. These are slow but steady leaks. I do not have a paintball store or anything like that within 100 miles of where I live. What can I do to fix these guns?

Disassemble the marker, remove line from ASA then remove line from valve with a 7/16 wrench. Add teflon tape to the threads and reinstall. Should be tight. Reassemble and air up.

Leaking out the barrel is only possible through the CVX valve. try 4 drops of gun oil in the ASA

and shoot it without barrel or paint.

Hope that helps.

Also, the O-rings. strip it down and check em. replace them if they are all messed up. You can order sets online nice and cheap.
