I have definitely found that if you let your mags sit for a bit unused...they'll leak when you next fill them. Especially if you leave them sitting empty.
The mags like oily gas. I'll try to give them a extra bit of oil if I'm going to store them away for a bit...but don't always.
I find that "over-oiling" them after they've been sitting sometimes revives them...but I've got 2 that just wouldn't seal again no matter what I did.
I used some silicone sealer and ran a bead before assembling. I took out the fill and knocker valve to assist with drying. I left them to sit for probably a week (just coincidental...busy, busy) before I gassed them up. They hold gas 100% now. But I've used too much sealing material and have to run some cycles of gas through them to blow out extra junk. It works, messy though.
Personally, I'd say...use oil in the gas, store them almost fully gassed, use them frequently.
