So i was cleaning my a5 and after i put it back together i aired it up and it was leaking from around the tombstone to velocity screw area (power tube im guessing)

I first thought it was because my velocity screw was almost all the way loose. So i tightened it to no avail.

Now I'm thinkin that its an o ring in the power tube (not the clear one right on top of the washer in the little tombstone window. that one is fine)

Also if in trying to force out the stuck power valve ( i forgot the term) from the power tube(see earlier post). Could my forcing and scratching maybe even denting cause a leak? Should i just buy a new power tube assembly. If so where can i buy it

You are not leaking from the barrel correct?

I don't think so. Its not a LOUD leak its just a hisss kindov but can be heard pretty well if the gun isnt even close to the ear. Like standing and with the gun on a table. But if it is from the barrel whats the problem

And if not do you have any other diagnosis?

Just checking to be sure you don't have a leak from the valve. Just how far did you take it apart? Did you separate the body halves? If so, make sure the Receiver O-ring is properly fitted. If not, check the o-ring that seats to the inside of the valve where the tombstone inserts. There is an O-ring and a stainless steel washer in there. The o-ring maybe be damaged or seated incorrectly.
