Can you just leave the fill probe in the airguns seal and go shoot?

Also if the pcp is leaking from the seal... Wouldnt letting the fill probe in the seal stop the leaking? Wouldnt the problem be "solved" or the rifle wouldnt let you shoot while having a leaking problem even if the seal is blocked?
(This just randomly came through my mind I dont have air leak porblem lol)

Need to fix the check valve in the fill port. I leave my fill probe in so I don't need to look for it later but have a foster cap on it to keep dirt out. Leaving it in will not stop the leak.

Yep, just cap it. Every gun that I do for a friend that has a probe, I tell them to leave it in there. I know they will either lose it or drag dust or dirt into the fill port and guess who will have to fix it or source them a new probe? Me. Some of my personal guns I leave them in, some I don’t. Depends on the guns design.

Nope

If you have a leak, it won’t fix it. I leave the probe in to try to avoid the leak in the first place.

Leaving the probe in will not prevent a leak,

also leaving the probe in will only result in an etra part sticking out looking like crap, just leve the probe with the pump and enjoy the clean look of a tube.

What Air Archer said !
Obviously, it's got a big hole...in the end of it ! So, any gun leakage will speed right through the hole in the probe and into the air.

Yes, if the probe doesn't interfere with other things in my safe (because of some odd angle), yes, I leave the probe in the gun.

As far as leaving the probe with the pump (as noted above), that's fine if you ONLY have ONE...probe ! Some of us have more than a coupla guns.
