Has anybody had their notos apart to let me know easiest way to fix this leak.
Yes thank you for that, 2 days ago i polished the seating area for that o-ring , also removed loose chips bottom of thread area on fill port screw. Probably left behind from tapping those threads.While you have the cylinder degassed, might as well unscrew the other end and replace the O-ring on the fill port screw with a -008 in 90 durometer. It’s a common source of leaks going back several years, and a recent thread called my attention to it still being a weak point.

You are right!The fill port O-ring is a longstanding weakness of SPA PCPs. A -008 in 90 durometer will last longer than the OEM one.
I actually wasn't sure what was "90 durometer" and I just googled itNice, glad to hear you were able to get it repaired. For what it's worth, the O-ring fails not due to fastener torque but due to extrusion, which is why a 90 durometer lasts much longer than the softer OEM O-ring.
Good to know, I was a bit disappointed that the OEM only lasted a month and half. Now I replaced it, fastened the screw correctly(barely touching the ORING), and see how long it gonna holdI must replace those o-rings several times a year on mine Spa pcp's
Always have those in stock.
is this oring under the gauge? if so, how do you get to it? seems like the factory moderator will not allow the fill cap to be removed.
So what vender (or brand) do you guys buy quality O-rings from for your airguns?The fill port O-ring is a longstanding weakness of SPA PCPs. A -008 in 90 durometer will last longer than the OEM one.
