Found a leak, super super slow, this was overnight.
Exploded parts diagram does not take the fill assembly any further down. Repair or just replace?
Thanks in advance.

Several months after I got mine it developed a very small leak there. It turned out to be the black "teflon tape" they used was not properly wrapped. It was a easy fix.

I agree with the above I have had a couple leak there and they were the same. Removed the fitting cleaned things up and used regular Teflon tape on one but blue locktight on the other neither leaks now.

De gas the gun, remove the foster fitting and examine the plunger seal. I have never had mine out of my Marauder, but they normally have an O ring under a plunger that seals them. It could just be a small piece of crud that is keeping it from sealing or it might need a new O ring that you can find at a hardware or auto parts store. PA has them for $15.99 in stock. I would order from Crosman.

Thanks all for the info. Wasn't really sure what I would find taking it apart. This leak just happened to appear after installing new rings everywhere else. Go figure. I’ll try to fix it.

My Marauder, when new, also had a small leak at the threads for the foster fitting. I sprayed a small amount of soapy water on it to pinpoint the exact location. I removed the foster fitting and cleaned all the old black thread tape out. I couldn't get any type of tape to stop it. Tried liquid pipe sealer too. I used locktite 545 and let it sit for a couple days. It's made for high pressure pneumatics and hydraulics. That stopped the leak.
