You have 3 hoses, the one that is the 2nd shortest (the one that geos in by the eyes) is probably broken/leaking. If its not that hose its on of the others. If you wanna change it personnally the you need to take the banjo off, cut the hose off the barb (be very carefull, especially on the middle hose because that barb is plastic while the rest are metal) and then cut a peice of hose to the lenght of the old one (they usually give you precut lengths when you buy it) and out one end on the barb and the other into the banjo. Im pretty sure this should solve the problem. Ive ahd this happen to me before and it was always the hoses.

Yeah, the hose in my gun is pressed down when i screw the body in. It loosened the hose from the metal the slightest bit that i could hear a leak, so i cut some of the body so the hose could have more room and now no more leak . But yeah just do what he said.

Sounds like it might be one of the bolt o-rings. One of them may have been scratched or nicked a some point so some air is slipping by. Also Check the Bolt stops, O-rings as well for any nicks or cuts.

Yeah, if its not the hoses relube the orings and then if it still deos it than change the o-rings but im still pretty sure its that middle hose because you can really only hear it coming out of the barrel and this has happened to me. Bad efficiency and a leak out the barrel is common signs of the middle hose being broke or leaking.
