When things aren't broken, I need to learn not to mess with them. My warp mag is leaking out of the side hole in the valve (left side). I didn't even know the hole existed until air was coming out from it. I checked the power tube dump chamber (is that what it is called?) and put a new oring on it just in case. I need ideas. Planned on using it friday night.

remove your regulator valve pin. On the bottom will be two orings and a plastic spacer. Replace the orings and spacer, lube and re-install and you should be good to go. I've had it happen 3 or 4 times on older x-valves and it fixed it every time.

Also try just cleaning those o-rings. Seems like even small dirt particles in that area will cause leaks.

By reg valve pin, do you mean on off pin?

No, it's not the on/off pin. Regulator valve pin assembley.

oddly enough, I cleaned the one off, and it no longer leaks, but now it doesn't fire (bolt stick?).

Did you change the powertube oring? If you did, then you need to retune your level 10 bolt system.
