A5 gas leak

[DirtyHarry]

Hi all I'm fairly new to the forum and this is my first post.

I just bought a second hand A5 basic(no response or E-grip) and it has a gas leak but I figure out how to cure it. initially i thought it was coming from the tombstone but after following the instructions on Tippmanns technical support and dismantling the marker and cleaning everything, the leak has now moved to the barrel.

I have read on other forums that the most likely cause is the valve the tombstone slots into. I'm just wondering if anyone on here has had this problem before and where I can get a new valve if I need one.

Thanks

Have you changed all the O-rings mate? I had a little leak on mine when I first got it but after I changed the O-rings and oiled it up and works fine now. There's a big O-ring in the valve too.

decided i would change the O rings first as that was the cheapest option, now works perfectly.
