It may or may not be a problem. I've seen this several times, and never has it been related to magazine height or seal issues.

That depends on which 1911 variant you're putting in.
Also, the hammer strut from any 1911 variant will not fit in to a Detonics.

They're the two "hooks" on the hammer - it's where the sear catches.

The result is the the sear sitting too high, and getting caught on the middle prong of the leaf spring - this can create temporary or permanent full auto fire until corrected.

Forget about looking for silicone spray. Look for a GREASE. I recommend Super Lube for something generic, but if you can't even find that in your area, you should have ready access to Lithium grease, which should work as well.
OIL will do very little for lubrication of metal-on-metal applications.
