It's also a release so things don't blow. Sometimes backing it out a little will stop it unless something has blown. If that doesn't help post what else you are using like Co2 or N2, any other regs, etc.

First and most obvious is that your velocity is to high. Leak out the back really wouldn't have anything to do with the trigger. It could also mean that your reg valve oring is shot. Try those 2 first

It's not beside the point. If you're getting liquid CO2 into your regulator, your pressure will spike and the overpressure valve will vent out the back. That's what it's primary purpose was when AGD installed it.

If it's still venting and you're just trying to get it to shoot at normal velocities (270-90)

Your Reg piston's shot/old school. Replace it along with the soft seals.

However Step 1: Turn down the velocity and chrono your marker.

Step 2: Start considering mech. problems as reason for the leak.
