I removed the four allen head screws holding the top on. I noticed the piston stop had crumbled.
After replacing the stop the air was still leaking. Did some more research and found out that the piston collar was probably bad. Ordered a new one. Once again removing the top I removed the collar and noticed it was split along the sid e. After replacing the collar and reassembling the top the air leak was solved. Received my new parts on a very timely basis from ereplacementparts.com This was a very easy fix.
