    Right so heres the thing..

    The mag that came with my p226 worked grand for a good month or two. Then I noticed when I filled it up you could here it leaking. I tried adjusting the nozzle and yep you guessed it.. it kept leaking lol. So I give up with it and bought a new one. Same problem, worked for 2 months and it give in. Today I bought new O rings for the nozzle to see if that would fix it but there still leaking. :( if anyone has had the same problem or has the same problem and fixed it, could you tell me what you did?

    Thanks.

    Silicone oil and PTFE tape, works wonders all the time.

    Not sure if this will be relevant to the problem you are having but this is my experience and solution to a problem I had. The mag is still fine since.

    fill it with some green gas and hold a lighter around where its leaking to identify where exactly the gas it coming from. you'll get a slow, steady flame so dont worry.,

    Id say its most likely the end cap seal as opposed to the valves themselves but valves can be problematic. you can fix this by greasing up the o-rings and reinserting the end cap., the important thing though is to insert the retaining pins that hold it in place from opposite sides(insert one, flip mag over and insert other). don't over do them when you tap them in either as they are very slightly shorter than the thickness of the mag and they'll allow a gap between the mag body and the end cap.
