Ghost Ghost Carbine leak, found but can’t figure out how to fix…🫣

[Luis Leon]

I found the leak but cannot figure out how to fix it. It is leaking out of the hole above the bottle gauge. I looked at the schematic at the BRK site but it doesn’t reference that hole at all. Suggestions welcomed and highly appreciated …

My guess would be 1 of the reg o rings but thats just a guess

If you notice the hole where the air is coming out appears to be about the bottom of the reg hole i would think its 1 of the 3 orings on the outside of the reg

@Solo1, will check it out. Must confess to not being savvy on the process. So will be watching the BRK video on how to remove the regulator… Thanks alot for the help.

To the best of my knowledge take the screw out of the knob then use snapring pliers to unscrew reg. Then inspect those 3 outer orings first hopefully you will see 1 that got hard or possibly nicked. This is the first oring failure i have heard of on the ghost! That might have just 1 oring on the bottom too. Never had mine out yet

According to the video its the two most rearward outer O rings on the regulator body. But it also could be the O rings failing at the piston. As both failures would leak out the same side hole above the gauge. But what are their sizes it doesn’t say.…

I don’t know and can’t find that info. Aoa does have an oring kit for the ghost so that might be the way to go?

Just a heads up Luis, there is a reg o-ring kit and a 'complete' Brk o-ring kit (doesn't include reg o-rings) The reg kit you can get from Huma for dirt cheap, I believe the shipping costs more lol. I have 2 stocked away for when the day comes, grabbed em with my last order.
My Ghost barfed up a ton of oil from that hole about a month after owning but I too have never had a leak yet on mine....should be an easy fix.

Got the O ring sizes from AOA. Will be ordering them from the O Ring Store…

Super easy to do. After about 3 years I finally had to rebuild one. Hardest part is to unscrew the Reg out. It can be tight the first turn or two. Of course Daystate makes a reg/valve tool, but they are not cheap.

AoA has them in stock usually....Makes the job a lot easier, but not needed.

@Luis Leon how did you make out with this?

Am waiting for my O rings to arrive and I will post up my results when I replace them. My Pathfinder and Atomics have kept me in the shooting loop…

Guys, like all holes, that's there for a reason.....it's just to let you know it's time. Hope you bought the tool !

Hi Luis - I have a leak on my 4 month old Ghost - 20/30psi over the day. I thought it was the fact that I swapped my gauges to digital but I determined it is not them. How did you test that regulator "hole" - soapy water, ballon? Thank you!!!!

Soapy water at the reg vent hole “circle in yellow” showed the leak. Which I still haven’t fixed, just haven’t the time at the moment. I just keep it aired up and refill as needed.

Rebuilding the reg is very easy. The wife and I compete with our Ghosts, so I rebuild them, usually before we start practicing for a big match. Having the tool is the key, but not 100% needed.

Finally rebuilt all the valves last week. I started a log with dates so I know what I have done to each gun and when...CRAFT has kicked in (Can't Remember a F'N Thing)

Something like this or a very thin pair of needle nose plyers, but you will need to be very careful with either....
