‼Need Help‼ My LCD is leaking air

Air slowly leaks through the hole pointed out in the picture above after i screw in my nitro tank. It is not noticable until you put your ear close to it. What can I do to fix this??? :dunno:


Help would be appreciated!

run some oil through your marker real quick...that appears to be the ever popular exhasut valve leak...a little oil might help fix it, or you might have to replace your exhaust valve, and easy fix actually:wink:

is there supposed to be an o-ring around that hole next to the serial number??

[MoogLe]

yea, but that's not causing the leak

How would i go about doing this?, and can i use "Battle Lube"?

[Emmit]

Love Juice™ is obviously the preferred oil, but really any paintball oil will work...

put a couple of drops in the bottom of the minireg, or in your ASA before putting your bottle on etc...then put 2 drops right in the exhaust port. Then air it up and fire it about 30 times to get all the oil off. Then make sure to take your barrel off and clean it. You should be good to go then.

where can i get one of those o rings?
does it even matter? and where should i put the oil if i have a non removable a.i.r?

[Emmit]

cbounds....get an o-ring from Gerwin...or take one off a spare ball detent.

as for the oiling...if you're using macro-line it's easy...if you're not it's a little more difficult....you'll need to unscrew your inlet hose so that you can run oil through the minireg.

Linebacker you cant use battle lube for this, putting it through the asa at least.

Battle lube is designed for Matrices with mostly stationary parts. It does a very good job swelling orings. Angels have some more moving parts though that don't benefit from the increased friction and swelling battle lube, matrix muck, toxic sludge, etc provide.

Normal synthetic paintball oils like Gold Cup, PMI, KC Trouble Free, Autolube etc work great though.

You could use the battle lube if you removed your valve and actually lubed the orings directly on it. The battle lube would do a superb job at this, just a bit annoying get the valve out. Try normal oil first.

i had the same problem with my lcd....lubeing it is a good idea also check to see if your 14 way valve has come loose, take off the sight rail and there should be 2 allen screws....just tighten those down a lil and it should stop leaking
