I got my yellow Magstrike on April. I had fun with it until today...pissed me off because its leaking everytime i pump. Is there a way to fix this? Like hot glue?

You'd want to use plumbers goop, it's a real sealant. Where is it leaking from?

I actually don't know yet. I haven't opened the blaster but it sounds like its coming from the black tank.

Ok, I'll answer this first, since I'm nice, and a noob like you (just more adept). This question really doesn't deserve a thread, or even an answer. Having said that, have you opened the blaster up, and isolated the leak? I'm guessing not. First thing you want to determine is what exactly is leaking. Is it the bladder? A fitting perhaps? After you open it, determine where the leak is from. If you can't seem to find it, hold the internals (while opened) underwater, and pump. See the leak now? It should be obvious. Most leaks in an air powered blaster can be fixed with plumbers goop (better than hot glue for this application). Once you have determined the source of the leak, post pics here, and describe as best you can where exactly the air is escaping. If you do that, I will be happy to help assist you fix it. If I don't respond to your post, it means I haven't seen it, so just pm me. It's time to get your hands dirty, sport, and actually fix / mod something

EDIT: Nevermind, Phillypretzel seems like he knows how to fix this better than I do. I'd listen to him, since I'm not as familiar with the bladder system in the magstrike.
Oh, that's the bladder. I haven't opened up a Magstrike in a long time, but from your description, it sounds like you have a rupture in the tubing, or a leak in the bladder. The latter I don't know how to fix, unfortunately, but you say you can't get any pressure built up at all to fire, yes? If so, your tubing has probably come loose, or something of that nature and you can seal it up. But nobody can help you if you haven't pinpointed where the leak is coming from.

take out the internals and put them under water. sounds can be deceiving in this gun, trust me. and if you do have to get a new bladder ive got three just sitting around

Edit: sorry for re-hash that popped up as i wrote this
