I except it is an "O" ring gone bad. Taking the gun apart is the only way to find out.
The "O" ring is metric in size.
Airgun Depot, https://www.airgundepot.com/air-rifles.html handles FX guns, you might contact them.
Seems like those FX guns have their share of problems.
Can you hear it leak? Or does it leak slowly over time. If you don't want to put soapy water on it try some very light oil around all the fittings.
Sometime something gets where it does not belong on the seals inside. Sometimes this works. Fill your tank and then rapid dry fire your rifle 20 times or so. Sometimes this is enough to clear anything on the seals.
I only have a Discovery PCP and this had stopped 1 of 2 leaks I have had in 5 years.
The other was a leaking gauge I needed soapy water to find that.
A balloon taped tight to the muzzle will normally help find a slow valve leak if it begins to fill over time .Marvin
Thanks, those are definitely a couple of things I will try.
