My 22 caliber Air Venturi Avenger, is losing air at the rate of about 200 PSI every 24 hours. It used to hold air for weeks and months without losing anything. I guess I'll start here, https://www.amazon.com/Captain-Ring-Replacement-Venturi-Avenger/dp/B09H1N5MVBDoes anybody have any advice on the most common place to have leaks? Should I brush on some soapy water and look for bubbles? Thanks for any advice or experiences. Shane

Never had a PCP leak but did have a Sig Sauer airsoft pistol magazine leak - no fixing that so a new magazine solved the problem. But the most common place for a PCP leak is of course the fill valve. Other than that, a full disassembly may be in order. You can find YouTube vids on the process.
Good luck.

I don't know about the Air Venturi but I had an air leak soon after I bought my Gamo Urban.
I bought some silicone grease, silicone oil and an assortment of metric o-rings for cheap from amazon
My leaker was a usual suspect o-ring or my rifle as explained on youtube . You may need some soap to see where yours is leaking unless someone on youtube can point to a suspect..
Keep it clean and lubed for re-assembly and it'll be fine. There's not much to taking mine apart, I expect you'll find the same.

I've got an 0-ring kit on the way, have watched a couple YT vids. Should be easy enough, and something new to learn.
