I noticed that the striker valve was leaking on the GHK magazine I got in the mail today. Not just a slight hiss, it's very noticeable. I went ahead and took the mag apart and lubed everything up and once I had everything back together, it was still hissing. I went ahead and took the valve out and nothing looks damaged at all.
I read that if I take the valve, drop it in a bag of silicone and let it sit submerged in the silicone oil overnight, it will fix the problem. Is this true or is there another method to fixing this problem?
I have a bunch of silicone oil from when I played paintball so I'll use that to submerge it (it's 100% silicone oil, I know what to look out for. I tested it against my AI Oil I got with my propane adapter and it's basically the same thing only I can get this at Dick's Sporting Goods).
Here's a picture of the place the gas is leaking out of:
