You can insert the probe and check it with some soapy water to see if any air is coming from there quite easily.

There's a brass screw under loading gate. Mine was leaking from there. There's also an o-ring below that screw. Granted, I used that screw to degas my GK1 once or twice before it started leaking. So this may not apply to yours. But it can't hurt to check.

Find a thin walled container , fill with water, take off the shroud, submerge pistol, if the gun is leaking from fill port you will see it. Get new parts from Kelly if cleaning the parts does not work. That’s what I did.

thank you all for your hints and tips.
so, i guess the leak is elsewhere and before i degas and maybe take the gun apart further. i wonder what else i can check AND HOW!?
so unfortunately, i still need more tips and hints. thank you kindly.
tried this first and could so detect any bubbles.
checked this as well, and could not see any leak.
i did this as well, first with about 120bar, which seemed to be quite stable. no bubbles. then i increased the pressure in the tank to 350bar and again could not detect a leak in the submerged parts of the gun. unfortunately the pressure is leaking in about 2hrs, the pressure sunk to almost 300bar again.
so, i guess the leak is elsewhere and before i degas and maybe take the gun apart further. i wonder what else i can check AND HOW!?
i do not have any such substance, but i guess it would not help at this point either. i am hesitant to just submerge the rest of the gun, besides the part that i already have under water. my experiences with PCPs is still pretty low, so i don't know if that is a good idea.
so unfortunately, i still need more tips and hints. thank you kindly.

You can substitute bubble blowing solution found in the toy department at most drug or dollar stores (used to be 5 and 10 cent stores.)

i have found a leak now. it is around the pretty scratched looking (straight from the vendor) closing valve.
i also got a message from the vendor, who said that from 200 guns they sold, 2 have been leaking, they also recommended to watch Gregor K.'s disassembly video to find out more to check or to send it back for them to fix it and i think i will do that, because i think on a new gun no parts should be this scratched and broken out of the box.
can't upload the bubbly clip here, for some reason.
update: while writing, i got a response from the vendor, who will send me a new part with new o-rings for me to try fixing it. if i can't i can send the gun back for repair.

The #4 oring on my v3 went. Hard to see in the pic but the oring is borked. Of course, not an oring that's included in the spares and a really odd size. This'll be a fun one to fish out/seat again.
I'm thinking of starting to stock these odd sized Huben orings in the store.
The v1's are still holding strong.

I'm about to join your little GK1 club... 
➊ So, is anyone selling sets of o-rings yet?
➋ Does anyone have a list of the required o-rings...?
Thanks!

Which prompted me to order a bunch of orings. You can find the orings in the gk1 manual, has a parts list in there. But some really odd sizes for sure.

I had a annoying leak that I just fixed. Well 2 leaks. It would drain from 5000 psi but hold air once it got to 4500psi over a couple days. Changed the airguage and it's oring... Couldn't hear the tiny leak anymore but it did the same thing. Finally, I lubed up the air assist pin and oring also the o-ring on the brass screw and tighten it down pretty good. Fixed the leak! The brass screw tightened down puts pressure on the o-ring making it tighten on the pin. This better seal...
Also I had a bunch of yellow gunk on the air tubes threads I had to clean off. And the inside smelled like super glue. I'm sure it was safe, just weird. I disassemble every new gun I get to make sure ther safe.

That peice looks like it's been fiddled with a bunch. Sucks fixing a brand new gun. For the prices we pay Dealers should just be ship the replacement and pay for the return shipping of the defect one.
