I have no idea why, but my MSV-2A is leaking through here when I air it up:

The lever was partially depressed on my MSV-2A by a bit of dirt. That made it leak steadily. I had way less space between mine and the frame. Maybe you trigger rod is to long and always presses against the MSV-2A lever? Try shortening the pin length or rotate the MSV-2A a little to allow some clearance.

It's not constantly leaking, it throws air out when I push the trigger.

So it leaks when you air up, then stops after cycling the gun? In which case not having the proper clearance as Adam45 mentioned is very plausible. The oring isn't sealing properly on initial airup. Piston movement, along with air pressure helps the seal afterwards.

Molotov,

You do not have a leak.

MSV-2's are supposed to do that.

Read this description if you want confirmation.

Yes its supposed to do that. A small amount of air escapes the pin hole in the side of the body each time you depress the lever.
