I have an led that is leaking air. It sounds like it coming from around the bolt. maybe the interal lpr. What can I do to try to fix it myself? or should I even try?

Check very closely... see if the air is coming out from the exhaust port right above your mini-reg. It's a small hole right where the manifold for your reg meets the gun. Very common place for air to come out of. If that's the case... here's a few solutions/diagnosis:

1.) Your LPR pressure is too high. Test it with a gauge (you may need to buy one). It should be set at 6 BAR which is equivilent to ~87 psi. If it's over this pressure that could be a reason for the leaky air. If not.... go onto 2.

2.) You need to grease your LPR and manifold o-rings. Be generous but do not add so much that it is caked over the whole ring. The grease should be visible when you apply it.

I had a similar leak issue with my LCD. After checking the LPR pressure and noticing that it was dead on at 6 BAR and STILL had a leak, I simply greased my LPR (had to remove it from the front of the gun) and my manifold o-rings. Put it all back together and the leak went away.

Keep in mind that when I first heard the leak I thought it was coming from the breach area too. Upon closer inspection, I heard it coming through the exhaust port. Here's a pic to help clarify.

As mentioned... greasing the o-rings on the LPR and the manifold solved the leak problem for me. I've gone through at least 10,000 paintballs since I greaded it and no leaks thus far.

I know you have an LED but the LCD's are pretty similar as far as the pneumatics go. I hope this helps... and good luck!

EDIT: Looking at some pics of the LED's... I don't think your gun has an exhaust port... I still believe greasing the LPR o-rings will help solve the problem.
