my colt revolver from umerex randomly decided that it didn't want to hold gas anymore. It worked fine before, i switched out the co2 cylinder, and it now leaks every ware. Same brand of co2. I tried using Teflon tape, didn't work. I don't know where its coming from. probably wasted around 10 cartridges trying to figure this out.

Did you used a drop of Pell Gun Oil at the tip of the CO2 cartridge to lubricate the seals?
If not try it or non-detergent motor oil. :wink:

Did that, didn't work. I opened the gun and there was oil all over everything, no idea if that is the pellgun oil or not, smelled like it though.

I've had good success by positioning the pistol with the grip pointed up, then put several drops of pelgun oil onto the seal and let it sit for several days. RC
