Ehhh, Just pour some leak stop in it, it will stop the leak............ and the gun from working...... , No... don't use this, it's just a Joke...

Its possible that your leak is from the regulators vent.There are potentially internal o-rings that take a lot of wear and tear in most regulators (dynamic)...good to tear down and lube them up from time to time, certainly once issues arise.In my application, the regulator vents via the pressure tubes gauge connection so it's not possible to completely isolate if it's from the threads, or the area between the tube and the plenum block..
If/when/once you become an avid and experienced air gun tinkerer, the sooner you'll encounter a leak that will break your will and you'll do the water dunk, find it harmless, and make it routine for just about any leak
Be careful with the soapy water. Iv'e seen blueing problems from it.
Water dunkPros:-Finds leak instantly-Tests all areas simultaneously with one step...can't get more efficient that thatCons:-None, absolutely, none.Balloon test Pros: -None, absolutely noneCons: -Takes a long time to detect-Can take many balloons, and in some cases, you cannot arrange a balloon around a potential leak candidate...Pressure vessels are tested hydrostatically, which in many of said tests, they fill the vessel with water, which is not compressible, which it is then loaded into a test jacket, which is a sealed container of water (water inside your vessel and outside) This causes the vessel to expand within the test jacket, which results in water being forced out into a glass tube that measures the total expansion. Once the total expansion is recorded, the vessel is depressurized and shrinks to its approximate original size. As the vessel deflates, water flows back into the test jacket.Sometimes people will argue against the most simplest, and brilliant solutions in favor of a balloon.
