I have a brand new Soiux 3x rivet gun and it leaks a bit of air. It sounds like the air is coming from the base of the piston, i.e.where the handel bends to form the shaft. Sorry, I am not good at describing things. The air is definitely not leaking at the air input connection. If I shake the gun or sometimes even hold it upright, the leak with stop. I can hear a kind of woosh sound and hear a chamber or something close off when the air does stop.
Sometimes it will stop just lying on the bench, while other times it will leak continously if left undisturbed.
It doesn't leak a lot, but you can clearly hear it, and it has leaked since day one. Brown's offers a 30 day return, but I hate to give up my gun for the time it would take to have it evaluated and replaced.
Is this leaking a problem? I do use air tool oil in it - a few drops I drop into the air connection port prior to each riveting session.
Thanks,
Jeff
