    the exploded diagram is here. you use the regulator valve pin o-rings (same o-ring that goes in the on/off top and in the regulator body).

    RT VALVE rebuild kit location: http://www.ansgear.com/ProductDetail...UC4aAixe8P8HAQ

    Those reg pin o-rings are a specific grade/material and need to be to make your valve function and seal correctly. I believe they are a 006 size o-ring. I would just buy the kit, and rebuild the entire valve with AGD specific grade/material approved o-rings. The AGD o-rings last forever (most use them for over a decade before replacement).

    After examining the orings I noticed that the spacer oring in the valve pin assembly is cracked, so I'm assuming that's why it's now leaking air from the regulator nut. I've lowered the velocity and cleaned everything pretty well. I'm going to order the parts kit and hope it gets here before next weekend.

    That's normal. The spacer doesn't create a seal; it simply places distance between the two 006 orings.

    You might need to replace the regulator piston assembly, are you using a Level 10?

    IF your mag is leaking from new spots now, the o-rings have gone bad (THEY DO NOT LAST FOREVER). Bite the bullet, buy the rebuild kit, and and rebuild you entire valve.

    No I'm not using Lvl 10, I just placed an order for a kit, as soon as I replace all the orings I will post the outcome. In case I do need to replace the piston assembly, who sells them? Sorry, it's been a really long time since I've used my Mag and I'm really really rusty. Back in the day I really knew this gun. Thanks for all the help guys.
