as i gassed my gun up this morning at practice, there was a huge amout of gas leaking through the hole in the upper tube of the body that gases the bolt. After consulting my manual, which said to clean the valve, and check valve cap spring. i took out the cup seal that blocks they hole and cleaned it and relubed with dow33. (oh, and the spring was fine) i put everything back together and gassed up, the leaking was reduced to a small leak, but was noticable. I played the day with the leak, which while was small, it drained my n2 tank significantly. As long as the bolt was over that hole the leak was small, however once the bolt is removed, the leak is very large. I cleaned and relubed the valve numerous times during the day, and the problem persisted...im extremely baffled, as i don't have the slightest idea to the problem. So any suggestions would be great.

you might need new o-rings on the valve and valve stem. Did you take out the whole valve just not the valve stem? because there are two o-rings on the valve itself. i don't know if this is the problem i am just thinking out load.
