Daystate Alphawolf: Leak from regulator knob when shooting. Is this normal?

Hello everyone. I think I have a problem with the regulator on my Alphawolf. For the past few days, I’ve noticed worse consistency and accuracy when shooting. I did the tissue test to check if there was an air leak at the transfer port, but it was actually my daughter who noticed, when sitting next to me, that every time I shot (only when shooting) air was coming out through the regulator knob.

Initially, I had it set at 84 bar, although the rifle was suggesting that I increase it to 140 bar. I ran some tests, and when I raised it to 140 bar the leak with each shot was considerably smaller than at 84, but there’s still air escaping. I understand this isn’t normal, but before taking anything apart I wanted to make sure that I really do have a problem. Thanks for reading.

Following as when I was shooting my DW yesterday I swear I felt air from that area as well. I figured a small amount of air escaping from the shroud. Many are designed to direct air backwards I believe. Are you sure it was the reg or just that area ? My consistency was rock solid as was accuracy at 73 yards. Will pay closer attention next time I shoot.

I'll check it later. Maybe it's the shroud.
