How about being more specific about the issue?

Like what area is the gas leaking from?

Have you tried lubing the mag?

Easiest way, replace the fill valve, they are cheap. http://www.evike.com/products/27269/ these generally will fit most gas guns with a few exceptions.

Next step, try taking it out and lubing the o-ring in the fill valve. A flat head screw driver and care is all you need to remove the valve.

Next step, try replacing the o-ring on the valve with one from a hardware store (they are hard to find because they are small).

Next step, disassemble the entire valve, yes it comes apart, there is a little brass end, or silver end, that will have a spring and the valve in it, might have dirt in there.

Next step, none of those work, refer to step one.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty

I think you are ejecting too much gas per shot; it happened to my old WE pistol after a long time from storage, but it was apparent that there was excess gas being put out by the magazine because gas in it's liquid form would spray my face everytime I fire the pistol.

Try first by lubing your pistol and see if parts esp. in the sears it should be moving smoothly, something may be binding and slowing down the mechanism, requiring more gas to cycle.

If it still consumes a lot of gas, try replacing the rubber lip on top of the magazine.
