check the rammer cap for any signs of wear, can be common for the metal to sometimes wear down if not properly maintained if i remember right.

there nothing wrong with that i always clean the bolt rammer and eyes after every use, the leake isint coming from the back its coming through the area where the bolt pushes down, but if i push the bolt foward a tiny little bit when aired up it stops, and i changed all the rammer o ring and bolt ones, as i can hear it when i listen through feed neck when bolt in

gotcha. does it go away once you fire the gun? that really sounds like its the front rammer oring which would be faulty but if you've replaced it correctly then i don't see what else could be causing the problem. you can try checking the rammer housing for any damage but this requires quite a bit of disassembly so if you really aren't comfortable would probably be worth sending it in to planet if you don't have anyone else that can look at it.
