Ion leaking??

When I gas up it starts leaking down the barrel. I've already lubed the bolt. Note I bought this used so I've never actually fired it yet.

Check the bolt stop orings. Are you using the stock bolt? Remove all the lube you just applied and inspect each oring thoroughly. The smallest tear in an oring can cause a leak. After inspecting, reapply the lube, and be sure you're using the right amount. Not too little, or it wont really do anything, and not too much, or the bolt will stick.
Be sure to check both orings on the bolt stop, not just the outer one. To remove the bolt stop (if you don't know how), put your pinkie finger down the firing can, curl it, and pull upwards, if your finger is too large, use a plastic/rubber tube or pen, not a metal one.
P.S: It's probably either one of the two orings on the front of the bolt, or possibly the furthest oring in the back, the tail oring.
