Tuning Leshiy leaking air....

Tel us about your gun , I am sure it is a simple fix ,Id say 90% of us do our own work , the guns are straight forward and very easy to fix , when does yours leak ? and did you do any work prior to the leaking ? I have over 80k shots on my leshiy and I never had any leaks other then , If say I went to change reg setting and the bleed screw leaked so I had to loosen and re tighten it until it stopped bubbling with soapy water ,

Check the air bleed screw. De-gas it, take it out, clean it. While your at it remove the pressure gauge and put a small o-ring in down in there to seal things up then put the pressure gauge back on. Chances are that one of those locations are where it is leaking from. If its still leaking get some o-rings and reseal the thing. If you to end up taking it apart make sure to check the valve for any issues. Odds are that the valve is fine though. When those go they usually go with a full on break.

So who else does Leshiy repairs besides Brian?

TIA

Why not consult the vendor?

There can be an issue with some of the EDMU gauges. They contain an internal O-ring that occasionally goes bad. It requires a special tool to replace. You could contact Brian @ EdgunWest, as he was supposed to get some of the tools in stock.

There is also an O-ring (mentioned by Elbowgrease) that is easily replaceable..between the gauge and the air tube..when you tighten the gauge it will squeeze and flatten the O-ring. This O-ring can be both under or over compressed..so you need to play around with how far you screw the gauge in. Sometimes, the orientation of the EDMU readout might not align perfectly. If you under tighten or over tighten to get the alignment, you may get a slow leak. You could probably play with O-ring thickness if you need a seal at the "prefect" orientation.

If you filled it too fast you could possibly lose 13 BAR due to cool down FYI.

Shoot it a while before worrying. Fill SLOWLY...

Mine leaked through the electronic/ digital edmu gauge between brass rim and bezel face day 1. A little soapy water found the leak. I just changed it to a wika problem solved.

This. It's the same thing as having your SCBA or SCUBA tank filled at the dive shop. They'll show you the pressure they filled it to and when you get home or check the pressure the following day, the tank would have cooled off and be at a lower pressure. 

That's not too much pressure loss, and could definitely be due to air cooling after filling/pumping, and further cooling from day to night. The smaller the air reservoir, the more pronounced the pressure change will be with cooling. If you put it out in the sun, you'd see the pressure rise again.

It's totally normal to loose 5% after filling, and the air cools down.

Great! No repair needed.
