Air Leak

[Silent Sniper 17]

Afternoon lads and lasses,

Picked up a bsa scorpion .177 a couple of days ago. Everything was rosey, shot like a dream no problems what so ever. This morning I decided to take it out and knock a few bunnys over. I charged her up to 175 and off I went. First opportunity I had was a bunny about 30yrds in front of the truck, slipped the gun out the slip and cocked the Bolt all of a sudden it started to piss air out ? Pushed into the breach and it stops. I opened it up again and let it piss till it stopped. When I got home I plugged it into the pump just to see what it stopped at and its around 50 it just stopped leaking and stayed at that pressure. I take it I've got a bad leak but what's the best solution and how to go about it cheers in advance??

If you bought it from a shop I'd take it back

It sounds like a seal has become knackered but I agree with John, even if you bought it privately, I would take it to a good shop.
