Hi,

Try dipping your mags in a pot of water and confirm where the leak is originating from. If the leak is around the base plate, here are some generic steps to fixing the mag:

1. Punch out the pins that's keeping the base plate intact with the magazine body.

2. Remove the base plate.

3. The base plate should house the main o-ring. Remove the o-ring and clean the base plate with soap. With the o-ring removed, you should see a "trench" that keeps the o-ring steady when installed.

4. Cut and apply some layers of duct tape to the "trench".

5. Replace the o-ring and assembly your mag.

6. With the duct tape and o-ring in place, it would form a better seal.
