    leaking from a very unusual location

    I got my Valve back from PaintballMaxx in Houston with the RTPro Valve drilled out for the ULT kit.

    I put in the new ULT on/off, I gass it up, and i can hear a somewhat steady leak ...

    I pull the trigger .. she fires okay .. but there might be a little bit of shootdown under rapid fire .. still the steady leak.

    I take out the ULT on/off and put in another shim, but when i gass it up i can hear that still steady leak and it goes rapid fire .. so I have taken that shim out.

    Now, I have a Dye Grip Frame, classic body rail and chrome p/w body tube with an RTPro valve in it .. ULT kit with 2 shims and lvl 10..

    The leak is actually comming from between the Valve and Body Tube, along the rail .. on the AIR inlet side.

    I push on the lvl 10 and the sound does not change.

    If I fire the marker and hold the trigger, the leak (pitch of sound) becomes less (as in quieter) .. and when I release the trigger, it goes back to it normal leaky sound.

    Someone PLEASE help me .. although I think i'm gonna try calling JonAGD sometime today to see what he things.

    ** edit ** 1 more thing, the diameter of the on/off hole is now 0.3760 as near as I can figure

              OK, what about me?
              I've finally replaced the 3 o-rings on the banjo bolt (if that is what it's called, I'm not sure. I just saw it refered to that in other posts) and I'm still getting a really bad leak between my rail and valve assembly. When I looked closer at it, it apears that the gas-through hole in the rail is not holding the middle o-ring in place. The top o-ring goes into the valve and is tight, the bottom one is also tight, but that middle one is loose where I can wiggle it around quite a bit. I am figuring that my leak is comming from the non-sealed o-ring in the middle. Is there a way to fix this?

              *yes this is an "old school" R/T, heck the serial number on the valve is RT01000 even.*
