Well, for some reason my Retro Valve seems to leak whenever it feels like it.... Every other time I screw in my tank, air will leak down the barrel or out of the bottomline (my stock valve never did this) ! And other times my gun won't leak at all. Anyone have any idea why? Thanx...

If the leak is from the bottom line, you might want to make sure your gas fittings are sealed (with teflon or loctite). If it is down the barrel, there are a few things that could fix this.
1) Make sure your input pressure is above 600 (like rouge said) and that you gas it up really quickly or hold the trigger down while you gas it up (it helps seal everything)
2) Check the powertube spacer and o-ring. You might need to replace the o-ring and change the spacer to a slightly smaller one.
Make sure the gun is well lubed as well.
