Shane,
It may be the valve stem. Dab a little soapy water on the valve and around
the base to see if it is leaking. You could also do this around the rim
where the tire beads seal.

Subject: DML: Leaking wheels

I picked up a '00 CC Sport and on the lot it had a very low RR tire. Upon
closing the deal I told the salesman that I wanted the rear tire replaced
before I took it home, He said no problem. It was supposedly done and about
e week later I noticed my MPG going way down so I went to the gas station
and sure enough the tire that was flat was extremley low. The dealer says
the tire was replaced and can't find any problems. Does anyone have any
ideas on what I can do to try and found out the problem on my own or how to
convince the dealer to replace the wheel. How many of you think they did
not replace the tire at all
