The problem is most likely the trigger valve. P/N FA205BA1 any Bostitch dealer should be able to get it for you. Its a complete cartridge that slids into the gun frame, unfortunatly you can't just change the o-rings.

Check for jammed staple, you have to remove the screws that retain the head of the stapler. If air is leaking then there is a bad seal at the trigger.

Pneumatic stapler leaks at the top

your problem is you have blown a seal. On some of the cheap chinese guns, it might be a flat gasket instead of an o ring.

MY PNEUMATIC STAPLE GUN WON'T WORK/ looses air through firing lever.How do I repair it? Where do I put the oil in?

I would agree with rowdy that the make and model number are essential to getting the right parts - If you have that information, just find a dealer that supports your brand. That being said, air leaking out the trigger area is likely to be an O-Ring or Seal problem. Pneumatic staplers have O-rings and Seals that need to be replaced periodically. Most have rebuild kits available that contain all the O-Rings and Seals that need to be replaced. Many staplers have O-rings and/or Seals on or near the trigger shaft that can wear and allow air to leak out
