Air leak
Hi, brand new to this forum. I have an Air Arms S410, but my problem is with an FX Typhoon I recently purchased. On filling there is a very noticeable air leak coming from the filler hole, even with the plug fitted I can still hear air leaking out. How easy would it be for me to strip this model? I presume there is a seal or something that will need to be replaced. I am no gunsmith, but I would appreciate any help.
Thanks, Pete.

Thanks for your replies. Took it apart, just gave everything a good clean, and a light oiling, and no more leak! Thanks.

Soon as you start undoing them bolts theres 3 to go at and if you dont notice its full of air by the time you take the 3rd bolt out then you deserve some pain.

Writing this proves that I am still alive! Yes, I did make sure there was no air remaining in the cylinder before I started. I did read about doing that elsewhere before I joined here. Thanks.

Hi BillyThanks for your replies. Took it apart, just gave everything a good clean, and a light oiling, and no more leak! Thanks.
Did you use Silicon oil??
If you used a petrolium based oil, it's possible the seal will turn to mush and be worse than before
Hope your repair lasts longer than my Career one did
Cheers, John
