Default MEC 9000 Spilling Shot

Soooo all I did was change from the 1 oz to the 7/8 bar and now I have shot coming out 1 or 2 pellets every few strokes from parts unknown. I have stared at it until I'm over it and I just cannot see where it's coming from. I have checked the charge bar which slides freely, the gromet is installed correctly, the bottle tension is correct. The drop tube sits firmly against charge bar fixture, no gaps there for shot to fall through. I have checked the tube itself for obstructions thinking maybe a piece of wad was stuck in it, nodda. I even thought that possibly the fingers on the wad guide had slipped down and maybe they were flicking shot out on the release so I raised it slightly. Like I said I cannot tell where it's coming from. The machine releases smoothly so it is not shaking shot out of the hull, it is real smooth. I even ran it in super slow motion in service mode looking for a clue, nodda. Lastly the rubber shoe on top of the charge bar, replaced it as it did have a slight groove worn into it. I am out of ideas. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks fellas !
