does it leak till empty or does it stop?
what are you filling with?
could be a bit of debris in the foster fitting.
or,
since its a new gun,
try shooting some of the pressure down and fill it again,
sometimes the check valve in a new foster fitting needs a few cycles to seal properly.
or,
if you have a hobby shop that sells rc cars/trucks near you,
you could get some 100% silicone shock absorber oil and put a tiny drop into the fill nipple and then fill the gun a bit to distribute the silicone.
i have the virtus and LOVE it,
dumping a full mag is.......magical
dont forget to use the pellet seating tool housed in the grip to seat the pellets.

I love my sig to it's my second one someone stole my other one along with a few others and my compressor.
So I only filled it half way useing the hand pump.it sux but it works .
It leaks at the fill valve right out the gold screen very slow but noticable.
I'll do what u said and I'll let us know.
For my backup gun is hatsan jet 1 and 2.
I'm looking for a suppressor for them thank u for taking time to respond

I'd say
1. DEGAS
2. Remove fill fitting. ( I think that's what you're describing)
3. On the bottom is a screw of some type with an oring under it.
4. Clean fitting and replace o ring.
Was the screw loose?
I hope I'm totally off on this.

Hey there, mine leaks at the same described location. Through the copper colored screen. I unscrewed the fitting and I see the bottom of the check valve but I don’t see a way to get the valve out and replace an o ring. The only I ring I see is after the threads. Very frustrating
