Run oil though the system. In the words of a paintball pioneer, "It's probably dry as a popcorn fart in there."

i oiled it up and it had the same result. i noticed wen i held the trigger down half way the leak stopped but if i let go of the trigger or pressed it all the way down it would start to leak agian. i dont know much about mags, r there any other bolts i can buy that will replace the bolt i have now.

Itīs best to stay with the stock L7 bolt they last forever.

If you air the marker up and it leaks press on the bolt with a squigee. If it stops check the powertube o-ring. If it dosenīt stop inspect the on/off o-rings. Posting pics would help of everything taken apart to tell what kind of bolt you have and if your power tube has spacers or a spring...

Keep the mag, IMO, I had a screwy one and sold it, but later I had time to fix it and I regret selling the first one (I got it for a good price too). Once you fix it, you never need to fix it ever again.

Very much worth it. You will have to tune it, but I found that quite easy.

Buy the L10 if you want it, but all the bolts in the world won't make a 10 cent oring start sealing again. All you need is to replace the powertube oring.

Buying the level 10 will replace to power tube o-ring, as well as eliminating chopping paint after it's tuned. As I said, worth it.

Actionvillage has good priced AGD parts, a good 10-30% cheaper than airgun.com. I bought my lvl 10 from them for 66$ instead of from aigun.com wich is 88$. But airgun.com does sell essentials like orings and specific parts.EDIT: actionvillage.com sells the MM/AM (minimag/automag) oring kit now, so even better for you. The lvl10 bolt won't solve anything unless you install it right. It didn't solve my problems, I just ended up 66$ poorer and frustrated, with a lvl7. Mabe I will fix it one day. Good luck. Oh yeah use the directions on automags.org if you do buy lvl10 and need to install it. They are clearer. :cheers:
