If it's a cylinder off the gun, there isn't much you can do at home unless you are used to working with HPA and are experienced in it.
You may want to check to see if it has dirt in the end, but if it's any of the internal portions of the cylinder someone else has to replace that.
A good trick is to fill it, and then submerse it in water to check where the leak is.
Other methods include rubbing soapy water on the body to see if there is a detectable leak.
If it's on the gun, sometimes o-rings/seals fail or there is a minor problem in the action.
As it is new, I would just send it in to get fixed.
