Strange leak behaviour from my scorpion

[dayglowfroggy]

About three months ago i filled my scorpion t10 at my club to 210 bar removed the filer and could hear it hissing away from the fill port area.
So i thought sod you and used the hornet for the day and didn't even get the scorpion out the bag for the last three months .

Anyway i bought a full seal kit thinking i might as well strip it and do as much as needed and have all the rings just in case i find more need doing .

I already fitted a new seal kit to the tench reg when i got it cheap because it was leaking .

Wierd thing is i got it out the bag expecting an empty rifle only to find its acting like its full ! I put it in the bag still hissing .

I am still going to strip it and c change as many or maybe all the seals since i can't trust it but do leaks ever just stop when you are not looking ?

No!

Yes mate - Sometimes it seals itself, or if not a fresh blast of air can sometimes clear the leak / sometimes not.

They usually stop leaking just before they start leaking bad.

Yeah, but they aren't dependant on observation. That's what the question was.

Ohh, I see what you mean now.

No then.

If it had a bad jolt/knock then something sticking might have settled but that's a long shot.

I am thinking dirt stuck near the fill valve that moved but not sure really .
