Does it leak whenever air is in the gun, or only when you fire? Sounds like an O-Ring could be gone - Take the bolt out, check orings (changing any dodgy ones) and make sure it is well lubed.

Could be a hose attached to the noid also, but try the bolt orings first if you suspect it is coming from there. Can you feel the air leak when you put your finger into the breech?

Ahha, told by the Ion master ;)

I forgot about battery - Can be the cause of many weird problems on Ions so change it out for a fresh, non-rechargeable one and see if it makes a difference before anything else.

yeah doing that is not the best of ideas if it fires lol. Try taking the bolt out checking for and nicks etc in the seals and re-lube. Doubt it now but my QEV used to leak for a while may be something for another time.
