So i decided to do a trigger job on my leshiy, what should have taken 15 minutes to do ended up taking over an 1.5 hrs. While trying to do the micro adjustments so that the trigger breaks at the second stage while not impeding on the safety mechanism, and the numerous dry fires, my gun started leaking air at the base of air tank. I tried applying grease and silicon tape which didnt work. Finally i added an o ring which finally seemed to work with the added silicon tape and silicon grease. What got me perplexed is why my gun is shooting way less powerful before the trigger job. Prior to the trigger job i could shoot cleanly through a 2x4 now my pellet barely breaks the surface. Any suggestions?

If you remove that o-ring you added and fill it and shoot while leaking does it shoot through the 2x4?

After removing o-ring and shooting the 2x4 and stating whether or not power was restored leaking and all Post pictures point to exactly where leaking and the o-ring you added.
Remember think opposite to increase power on the Leshiy compared to other guns.

I couldn't get the gun to pressurize as to much air would come out from the base of the reservoir closest to the gun. The o ring was placed on the very base of the forward plug past the threads.

Doesn make any sense why it would leak all of a sudden like that. Nothing to do with the trigger mod. I'd unscrew the cylinder clean everything leave out the o-ring keep trying till seals properly.

Does the Leshiy classic have a breather hole for the reg or does it breathe across the threads? If those threads were supposed to be sealed they would be sealed from the OE.
As stated above, you should remove and inspect orings. Most likely the one on the OD of the reg .
I don’t own a Leshiy classic though. Perhaps an owner will chime in.

Did you dry fire it enough to deplete the air reservoir, and then continue to dry fire? This can damage the poppet valve on some guns.

Air was depleted but the leak isnt coming from the poppet valve, its coming from the dges of the air reservoir

Do not seal the area where the tube screws on to the valve block. Check 2 orings... od of reg and between reg and plenum.
I was hoping an owner would step in and assist you.

I have but don't want to open it up it shoots too perfect! When you tinker sometimes bad things mysteriously happen like especially leaks and such... I never mess with perfect shooting guns...dont want to ask for trouble that's all... In fact just by removing a barrel to clean from a perfect shooting gun never was as accurate ever again so I only use pull through and don't even remove shrouds and LDCs whenever possible. I'm an accuracy nutcase so I am an extremely rare type of airgunner here. Most airgunners don't need as much precision accuracy as I personally require and expect who don't need nor expect one hole groups at 80 and 100 yards.

Thats the reason i wanted a trigger mod. Factory trigger was set so light that a second stage was needed to avoid the unintentional discharge and affecting accuracy..

Are you quite sure that the trigger releases the sear completely and not dragging (slowing down) the hammer?
...but more likely the piston o-ring on the high pressure side of the regulator is failing and leaking though the spring chamber to the atmosphere by the treads
