i gassed up my ir3 the other day, and i heard a small leak in the area underneath the porting in the back of the reciever, where the solenoid is. Anyone know what that is and/or how to fix it ?

what's your LPR pressure at, it may just be venting.
if that's not it, then it's most likely one of the gaskets under the solenoid itself

it could be the solenoid itself. i had a leak and i replaced the gaskets as well as checking the lpr pressure and that didnt work. so i replaced the solenoid and my gun shoots great now.

Could need to be tightened down more (you can turn it down untill you break the allen key and not hurt anything), LPR pressure too high like mamba said, or dirt on gasket/cracked gasket. Also check the orings on the ram.

i did all that too and it was still the solenoid. Rogue do all that stuff everyone else mentioned before you replace the noid it took a fat chunk out of my wallet.

Make sure the screws on the solenoid itself are tight. My friend's speed was leaking, the two screws coming loose as the cause.
