    The large Oring that goes around the outside of the Lab regulator is probably leaking some, either that or one of your on/off orings are leaking.

          A leak that stops when you hold the trigger in is usually caused by a bad powertube oring or a spacer that is too long. Needing a shorter spacer could be caused if there is a bit of wear on the sear.

          If it is not the powertube area and is actually the on-off area, then it is probably your bottom on-off oring (the one around the on-off assembly).

          If you are always running air, then you should remove the inline regulator and get a gas through grip. The additional regulator will restrict the air flow to your valve and could cause shoot down or short stroking issues.
          Except for the Automag in front, its usually the man behind the equipment that counts.

            THe inline reg is from an early model cocker and i removed all the internals from it .....it was the only style i liked ...but i am looking for a gasthru as we speak but i want something identical to the reg in running now (looks wise) ...... im pretty sure the powertube ring is new ..... i cant seem to paste the exploded view on here so if you can put it up and help me out and show me exactly which one the powertube oring is . thanxx alot athomas!

              Pull the bolt off the valve, the power tube tip(brass piece on the front) needs to be removed. If its a level 7 find the right tool (a nickel) and remove the power tube tip. There will either be a spring or spacer that comes out followed by the power tube o-ring. Check the o-ring to make sure its fine, if it is pick up a power tube spacer kit and go to the next shorter size like Athomas suggested.

                  Hurricane is the back half of the valve, it was a "upgrade" made by diamond labs, they came in aluminum(black) and titanium(purple). ANS and a few others made them also, it was to fix the air holes not lining up in some of the older classic valves, also know as the 8 hole mod, most agree it didn't help a bit. I have the titanium version too.

                  Level 10 is a bolt type, it will be hollow in the center of the piston(small tube that fits into the power tube) on the back of the bolt. Your power tube tip will take a wrench to remove also. Level 7 is the older style bolt with a solid piston in the bolt and the power tube tip has a slot to remove it with a nickel or slotted screw driver. The level 10 helps to not chop balls at the cost of a little efficiency in air and requires slightly more tuning than the older level 7 bolts.

                    Sounds to be a bad oring in the bottom of the on/off. Try replacing the two orings on the bottom (stainless piece) of the on/off assem.

                          That bottom picture is of the on/off bottom, there is another piece still that sits in the same hole called the on/off top and two Orings that sit under the brass on/off top.

                          BTW here is a diagram from the AGD website

                              First off heres a link to the debuging procedure on the AGD website http://www.airgun.com/Techinfo.shtml

                              Secondly you need a automag repair kit

                              OK lets start at the top have you oiled your mag the best way do this is to put a few drops of oil directly into the air line that attached to the valve and then dry fire the gun a few times to circulate the oil.

                              It sounds like you need to replace the two orings in the on/off assembly , you have to remove the on/off top and bottom to access the orings , remember to put a bit of oil on the new oring and put in the valve just like the laser etched drawing on the valve shows. This should hopefully take care of the leaking down the barrel

                              Next you need unscrew the velocity adjuster all the way out and pull out the regulator piston , either the piston is bad or the oring is.... we are going to assume the oring is bad and replace it again remember to put some oil on the oring once you have the oring installed reinstall the piston assembly and the velocity adjuster back in

                              Reassemble your valve and air it up and see how she shoots now .... you will mostly likely have to fiddle with the velocity to adjustment to get the gun to shoot again as it will probably be too low to start.
