PM6 question

I recently bought a used pm6 and it shot fine and didnt leak until the tank got nearly empty, I put a different macro line on it, it leaks out of the barrel and the back hole of the bolt. The troubleshooting says replace the oring, but the orings look fine, any suggestions

They look fine doesn't mean they are, replace all orings.

near empty tanks cause other sorts of problems, but not leaks. If the macro is properly sealed up it shouldn't leak, and if it isn't set up well, it'd leak at the macro fitting and not the back. Your problem is orings. Orings should be bought online or from reputable paintball stores. Here's a pm6 oring kit for freakin cheap Captain O-Ring - PM6 Dude's got very good customer service too.

Empty or low tanks will cause many different issues to occur in a marker. From poor cycling to leaks in places you would have sworn were fine an hour ago.

Refill your tank, then diagnosis the issue.

There are several paintball o-ring web sites. If your tank is near empty that might be the only problem as bobide is saying. It may not have enough pressure to hold air. That or it could be as easy as a lube problem. PM6s do not like having low lube at all.
