hello, i just purchased an etek 4 took it out of the box aired it up after adding a tiny amount of oil to the bolt. the rammer didnt need any. any way after shooting a couple of pods i noticed some oil showing between trigger frame and gun body. the marker is brand new, is this just an etek 4 quirk or do i need to be callin the store? the gun shot fine and i dont remember hearing any air from that part of gun escaping. any insight would be nice. am not going to fool with taking any thing apart until i get some feed back. or ill just return it if need be and let them fix it. if it is something serious. thanx in advance.

That is awfully odd. As in, if the oil was from the insides, you would detect an air leak before you would get an oil leak. Perhaps you put too much oil on the bolt? For future reference, you might want to place Tri-Flow on the bolt, instead of the PE oil.

My etek did the same thing. My etek still works fine so should be nothing to worry about.

Don't even put oil on the bolt, jack wood doesn't recommend it because it causes breach wear much faster.
