Found this in my dad's garage and was immediately flooded with memories of the cottage, sandpile and empty beer cans.

I took it out the other day but unfortunately, it leaks CO2 like crazy. I felt some leakage coming through the grip but the majority appeared to be coming from the hammer area......not sure if this makes a difference.

Is there an easy fix or maintenance that I could / should be performing? If it is not something I can do, are there places that will service this?

Stupid simple. 99% chance It's seal P/N 38-128 Its a common seal with many Co2 crosman guns. Common seal that leaks after sitting for awhile. Its located right under that nut with the slot cut in it on the 3rd picture. You'll need to make a screw driver that fits it.

You might be able to get that nut off without taking it apart. Simple swap the seals..

Crosman 38C (the 38T, was the longer target barrel).

You can find the books of words an' pictures on Crosman's site to download.

There are a couple regular problem areas on those, the seal at the CO2 cart piercer, the connections at either end of the fine copper line that runs from the grip to the valve, and the valve itself, are pretty much the places to be checking.

A drop of oil on the piercer tip, or on each cartridge as it is installed, will get a bit of oil in to the seals, Crosman sells a tube of Pellgunoil, or Automatic Transmission Fluid works.

There are a couple variations of the build over time of production. Early ones had the hammer directly striking the valve stem, and the cylinder could be adjusted for alignment easier. Later production added a transfer bar, as well as reduced the number of places that it could be adjusted, as cost savings in production.
