Proto SLG, bolt sticking?

My friends SLG is being an absolute nightmate!

The marker will fire 3-4 shots fine and will even ramp but when you stop shooting and try to shoot again, the bolt seems to stick forward and air gushes out of the marker; this can be stopped by pressing the bleed button.

It will use 3k air for about 40 shots lol..

Ive changed all the bolt o-rings, detents, batteries (Fresh procells) and re-lubed with Dye slick lube.
The problem is still there, im not a tech but i know my way around a marker and this is frustrating me :(

Whats really strange is the marker will fire fine dry, but as soon as paint drops in the marker it cant handle it; chops paint like crazy to. I changed the hopper and it still has the issue.

Hoping its just a common problem that can be solved easily, but hey who knows.

Thanks guys.
