Whenever I open up my CO2 cylinder gas starts to escape from the little hole in the front of the regulator.
How do I stop this from occurring?

Isn't that the bleeder hole for when you back off the pressure screw? I'd try turning the screw in and see if that stops it.
You probably need to rebuild the regulator, this usually happens when the diaphragm starts leaking. My Taprite was leaky and $10 in parts and 10 minutes of work fixed it. It would have cost only $6 but I have to pay more up here in Canada.
For me, it wasn't the diaphram. It was the pinvalve assembly underneath the diaphram that just needed to be tightened in by 1/16th of a turn.
