Princess Auto or Canadian Tire. Buy a pack of assorted O-rings. $3 fix.

or soak the seal in silicone and tighten up the screw on the bottom of the mag. Me and duckman have had the same problems and found that the screw becomes loose after a while and just tightening it up fixed the problem.

Buy the blue "Gasket Maker" from Canadian Tire (in automotive section), about $5 for a tube. Put a good bead of it around the square O-ring, then put the mag back together and let it sit at least over night, 24hrs is better, then put gas in it. That should fix the problem better than any suggestion listed above. I've fixed a half dozen mags ranging from KJW M700 to KSC G19 mags each and every time with this fix.

Try tightening the screw under the bottom plate of the mag, this is a common reason the DE mag will leak.

Also a big reason TM Hi-Capa mags will leak. I remember Apoc asking me to check out all three of his mags because they leaked, I saw the screw at the bottom of the baseplate, asked if he tried tightening that, he said no. 5 mins later we had three mags with not a leak to be found anymore.
