Is the gun old? Happened to me last week. Changed for my spare and binned it. Seals inside wear or the mechanism inside wears. You can get repair kits for them but i can be bothered taking them apart to fix it.

Bit of crap under the ball bearing in the trigger. Remove the plastic case/handle. Large brass nut..undo that .Then there is a spring /ball bearing arrangement (check bearing for corrosion /grooves). Remove them and wash it out he brass housing . Put it back together.
