    Was it leaking from the little allen hole in the adjuster nut?

    If so back it out a little bit because the velocity is too high.

      Was the anti-siphon tank setup for the air source adapter on this marker? Or was it setup for another marker? the reason I'm asking is the anti siphon tube could actually be submerged in the liquid CO2 if it was not installed for use with this gun. Your best bet in the long run would be get a HPA tank (Air tank instead of co2) If you do this make sure the regulator piston in the back half of the gun is the one used for HPA.
      It could already have the HPA piston in it..and since you're using c02 (delivered at approx 1100 to 1200 psi instead of 800 psi on air) it could be causing the leak since the pressure is too high with the CO2 tank. Find someone who has and screw-in style air tank and see if that fixes the problem..if so..buy an air tank if not... I don't know...I'm not a mag magician lol

        Leaking out the back like that is usually because the over pressure valve in the reg. is activating. Liguid CO2 making it's way into the marker can cause that. So can a bad reg. seat. Having the velocity way to high can also. You might want to try another reg. seat. Also turn the velocity down (shoot a couple of times after each turn) until you are sure it's not to high.

          i have the same problem, is it reall just a matter of turning the velocity down? I will try this, thx.
