Is it leaking from the sealing face? If so it could either be a problem the the face material or a problem with the seat. You should examine the face and seat for any nicks or tears.

Oh, and please use the search button in the future. :wink:

Show a picture so that we can gather a better understanding of what is going on with the piston you maked.
