My Benjamin Discovery .22 leaks air. From the research I've done, it looks like it could be the O-Rings, but I'm not sure. Any advice? Details on how to check on that properly and fix leak without messing up the rifle?
Thanks for the useful info. Did you have to take the stock out first to test for leakage?"Fullquiver"Mine leaked by the gauge and the fill port. I took out both after degassing the gun and used some low strength loctite (Purple) on the threads and them screwed it back together gave the loctite some time to set up (about 12 hours) and boom no more leaks.. I used a little warm soapy water to find the source of the leaks...
Thank you for the help!! I will try y'all's recommendations this weekend and see if it will fix the leakage."spysir"Windex on the fill port, air gauge , valve retention screws, should show you where the leaks is, no shortage on info on tearing them down on youtube & such. Common hardware store orings will work if running air, do lube them with a touch of silicone grease.

So I'm guessing you will have to have some air in the reservoir to check for leakage whether using water or Windex? And thanks for your useful information"Yote"Mine leaked It was the fill fitting on the rifle stick the end of your barrel in a container of water. I was lucky just tightened the fitting
