FX Impact MK2 Not So Mysterious Air Leak?

Jester said:

I originally thought the leak was one of the two "Dowty" washers at the quick connector port. I've discovered the leak is now coming from a small brass plug, or what looks to be a set screw just slightly above where the connector port screws into the trigger block. This set screw, or plug, or whatever it is, is identified as Part #95 of this schematic. Can it be assumed that the O-ring (Part #94) just needs to be replaced, or the plug tightened, or is there something else going on here?

Thanks for the reply.

So just replace and tighten?

Curious, is this just a device to plug a machine/manufacturing passageway?

It's a common leak point on all "Older" Impacts regardless of generation. It is a machining passageway. The small Orings age out and develop a leak. Very hard to catch because the front one is hidden behind the bottle adapter and the rear on is up behind the grip base.
