My fx verm mk2 has an air leak out of the fill port. Very strong leak. Took about 2 minutes to empty the whole gun from a full fill. How do I fix this?

Fx verminator air leak

Sounds like you may have gotten dust or debris particle inside preventing the check valve from closing all the way. Try and bump the fill end with your knuckle or palm and do it for at least 5 minutes and don't be a sissy about it while doing so then fill it to say 80 bar but do it quickly so it can dislodge the debris and pay close attention to the gauge! then repeat the bumping even if its hissing out then fill it again quickly to 80 bar. Once it goes back to normal and does not leak, fill it SLOWLY as usual.
If it had been previously stored for a prolonged period of time and you just found it empty and tried to fill it up now and it now leaks, then that is another matter to deal with. The seals may be old and hardened and that will take more than what was suggested above.

That is the most common place for an 'O' ring failure but you might be lucky and just have some crud affecting the fill valve (it's where crud can get into a rifle, after all).
The fill valve itself is tiny and you should be careful not to damage it (it's easily scratched), on the 'nose' of the valve piston is a tiny 'O' ring which seals the gun after filling, that's the one most likely to need replacing (check the parts list for the smallest 'O' ring).
