check if your blow gun is back wards. if not try Teflon tape

First off...where is the leak? If it is near the threaded end add teflon tape like lukemc said. If it is the seal of the valve inside, use oil. My modified blowgun seal used to leak and I fixed it with oil. Some types of oil can eat away at your rubber seal, but I am not sure what kind.

WD-40 is one of the types that can eat away at the rubber, but lithium grease should work.
