Have you checked the manuals section?  There some good drawings there.  Near the trigger you have the solenoid and that can leak.

That all depends on a few things.  What you actually have and how much time/money you want to put in.  Do you want a frankenstein marker or all color matched?  Check out the list of parts that Dopey is selling on the site and be sure to understand the bit that he states about using all Evil if you go that route. (excepting the LPR which works well BTW and there is one for sale on e-bay for $83 by itself - great deal you have there Dopey)

Best parts are below...

Board: Wicked Air Sports Equalizer board aka WAS board
Internals and bolt: Grab everything NDZ you can. They made the best parts for the imps by far.

You can find parts on here, PbNation and eBay. Those 3 are probably your best best but they are sometimes hard to come by (depeneding on what your looking for) because they are getting older and older these days.

For an explanation of different parts look here. The "I-O Library" has many faqs and guides that could help you out.

http://www.impulse-owners.com/page/?id=4

But if that kid wants $150 for a tapeworm you need to run as far away as possible. They cost like $10 bucks. Unless you are referring to an LPR which would cost max about $60 if its an NDZ. So I'm not sure what that kid is selling you but its sounds like he trying to pull a fast one on you.

the short white bolt is probably a NDZ bolt and no you do not need orings. Keep that and you'll be fine.

the WAS board does have eyes and it is very easy to install.

Post pics of everything when you can so we can help you out even more. Much easier to give advice when you can see the gun.

Glad you like the site!

You certainly want a tape worm or an LPR that serves the same purpose like the evil one.  Standard ones are $10 on ebay like LO says.  Pointy little things.  They go into the front of the marker next to the front expansion chamber.  That fixes a design issue with first shot drop off and the ability to dry fire the marker.  I have also found that without one, you end up having to cock the bolt back manually sometimes.  Not good in a fire fight.
Delrin parts are a plastic substance that doesn't need o-rings.  There are triggers made of it too since it is light and easy to mold I guess.
Sounds like you are going to have some fun building.  There are loads of options.  Take a look at the pix of my markers under my profile.  Seven different ones.  Post up some pix of your own.
