After I use my C02 tank and I take it off of my paintball gun it leaks air from the little pin on the top of it.

Bad valve. Needs to be replaced. Try your local Paintball shop.

Here's the CORRECT answer. The valve at the top of the tank is stuck or jammed to a point where it won't close properly. This happens a lot with guys that shoot a lot and are constantly taking the tank in and out. Rather than waste time and money on replacing the valve (which you may not be able to do anyway, depending on which model you have), just buy a new one...that's my advice. the price will end up being about the same, and this way you'll have a fresh tank.
Good Luck and happy splattering.

wiggle the pin, it might be the way your taking it off. if it still leaks then you should just buy a new tank, anytime you replace something on a c02 canister or HPA tank you have to get the tank rehydrotested which is about $25 but you could just buy a new tank for that price.

Ok, your CO2 tank doesn't leak air - it leaks CO2!
Turn off the tank using the valve nearest to the cylinder. If you don't turn it off at the cylinder, not only does the pin leak, but the tubing and other bits & pieces will bleed CO2.
Always turn it right off, at the tank.

The part attached to the bottle is a regulator, It may be leaking because of a hole in the diaphragm. Use soapy water to see where it is leaking soap will make bubbles.

It doesn'teak air, it leaks co2, and the reason it leaks is because you have a hole in it, leave it in the gun and you shouldn't have a problem until it's all used up.

I agree with those who say replace it. They cost less than $20 in most places.
