i just got a used millinium spyder. when its all hooked up, a small--but significant leak can be heard from the the front of the bolt area. i think the valve under the front of the bolt is the problem. my suspision is that this valve doesn't creat a full seal when the 'gun is cocked. mabey this is normal, but the first time i used this 'gun it used alot of Co2. also, if i turn the valve off on my tank and leave gas in the gun, after about 10minutes the marker will be empty off all pressure. i dont know what is going on and its stil doing it after o-rings were replaced. if it makes a difference the bolt itself is abit loose and the o-rings on it dont make a seal, but i think that is nor here nor there. thanks for reading this long post and plz help me if you can!

ur cup sel isnt set. Just shoot a paintbal through it, and t shoudl set. If not, u need a new cup seal. Buy a lapco cup seal, and ull never hae a leak again.

It cn be a few things. 2 are minor, one is major. Let's start with the minor problems.
The cup seal might not be seated right, and all you have to do is get a new cup seal. Get a Lapco cup seal, and you'll never have to do it again.
Your Co2 tank might be low. Refill your tank.
THe major problem is that maybe you scratched your valve body. If this happens, hten you need to replace it. It's around 20 dolalrs for a Turbo valve...the valve body is extremely sensitive, and can't have any scratches on it.

thx for the help. i just pulled out my valve body and i think its the culprit. i think ill take this as a chance to upgrade and get the Turbo Valve Kit. is it worth the extra dough? ill guess ill go read some reviews. my Co2 tank was full when this happened and my cup seal looks ok. does the seemingly loose bolt affect anything--even non related to the leak? is this bolt meant not to make a good seal?
