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.
