Ok, is it the valve leaking or the solenoid? How'd he put the co2 bottle on it anyway, are you using a screw in system?
How bad is the leak, have you tried turning the imput pressure down?

ok, turn the regulator down until it is at the right pressure, then strip it down and lube it all, you may have just blown an o-ring....do you have an asa on the gun...?
There are only 2 areas Timmy's will really leak from
The first if the poppet, that's the valve which actually opens to fire the ball. if that's leaking you'll hear the air running down the barrel. If it's that then you need to replace the cup seal, you might be able to get away with removing it and re-grease but it's best to replace the cup seal.
Otherwise it's almost certainly going to be that a hose has come off a barb on the solenoid or Ram housing. Just take off the grip frame and make sure all the hoses are Ok and pushed well onto the barbs.
It *might* be a ram sleeve oring or solenoid but it's pretty doubtfull.
When you say leaking "inside", where abouts exactly?

very doubtful, I've never know it to put it that way
If your CO2 tank is/was anti-syphon and you weren't shooting really realy fast, I can't see you would have had a problem.
Do you know where it's leaking from exactly yet?
