Ok i just got my ego. so i dont know much about them but i am pretty sure the leak is coming from the solenoid the rear end.... I have checked the insides and relubed them etc.. the marker still fires but leaks at the same time.

Any ideas?

also the small silver clip that holds the solenoid together..... there is only one is there suposed to be two or just the one?? thanks

Have you checked the side of the solenoid to make sure the back grip screws haven't been put in too far and functured it?

I built your Ego, Geo
There should be two clips on the solenoid one on each side so if one is missing i would say that may be your problem also when you take the solenoid apart check to see if the o ring just above the shaft is still there this is a tiny o ring about the size of a pin head do not lose this they are not available to buy the solenoid clips are available from Planet drop Nicky T an e-mail i am sure he will sort you out with some.:)

I have checked the side of the solenoid and there are no damage to the sides so the screws for the grip have not been over tightened.

I only have one clip so im gna have to get another one before sunday???

I am puzzled as to where you will find that small o ring??? there is one in the solenoid under the cover with 4 screws????
