Angel Speed Leak, Help!

[Clipkid243]

I got a new Angel Speed for Christmas, and found there was a leak in the square hole in the top left of the flash tank, under the lpr. I replaced the piston oring, adjusted the pressure to 60 psi and 80 psi, but the leak doesn't go away. One time when i turned the velocity all the way up, it made the leak stop for a few minutes but then it was back again. Including a picture to show where it is. Any suggestions?

I believe another user had the same leak a while back and Russ told him it was likely the LPR o-rings. However you say replaced it, but did you put some grease on it?

There is an oring between the body and flash tank, you probably are not leaking from there. That vent hole is between the piston and body of the lpr on the inside of the body.

If you replace the oring on the big piston of the LPR and it doesn't fix it, then it could be an LPR reg seat. Is the leak consistent or does it fluxuate?

I replaced the piston oring, and took the piston, springs, and shims out but could not get the lpr mainbody out. What should I use to remove the lpr? The leak is consistent, too.

to take out the body i used a slightly bent paperclip,

that's also kinda what they describe to use in the manual, a suitable blunt hooked pick

danger: if you use a sharp tool you can scar the inside of the tube where your lpr lives. If you do this there will be a bad leak that you can't fix easily. It requires an airsmith at that point.

I'm 100% sure its the lpr o-rings. I had the same problem, replaced them all because i didn't know which one was actually causing the leak, and now it works flawlessly. So if your lazy like me and don't actually feel like finding which ones are causing the leak, just replace them all.
