I assume it was working when you put it on the shelf. Unlikely you have a damaged O ring.
Oil dries out and gets gummy with accumulated dirt. O Rings take a 'set' and can leak.
I'd start with a good cleaning and some fresh lube. Soak the O rings in denatured alcohol overnight. Get them clean and let them 'round up' a little. If that doesn't do it, a rebuild kit is about $12 (stock cocker reg) and you get a whole new set of O rings. Can't imagine a Palmers rebuild kit costing much more. Its about 5 new O rings for the stock cocker. A a quarter a piece, they make $10 profit.
Does Palmers have a lifetime warranty or just covered since you bought it? Check before you open the thing up and void a warrenty.
Run with your original stock reg in the meantime.

: Recently moved to utah and now havent played with my autococker in half a year. I gassed it up today and c02 was blowin out what I'm thinking is the pressure relief hole in the front of my palmers rock. It's been awhile since looking at autocockers so I was wondering what you make of this.
