Front drivers side. Theres no puncture in it but it loses 20psi a week. Its annoying and I can only imagine a little bit dangerous. Standard alloys, 195/55 size I think

the tyre isnt sealing on the rim then mate.Probably due to corrosion on the inside of the lip.

Have the wheels been painted recently? Overspray could cause this, or it could just be a very slow puncture somewhere

go to amotorfactors like motosave orkwikfit / halfrauds see if you cn get some leak detection fluid(pink) and add to water then wet ur wheel with it
more than likely it'll be rim/bead or the valve leaking

it could be the valve thats lettin it out. Remove the dust-cap and spit on the valve, if bubbles are emerging its a leaking valve!!

What do you do then, just put it in a spray bottle with some water and spray all over the outside of the wheel? Im not going to be taking the wheel off myself to have a go at the inside.

I will give the valve spit thing a go as well.

Car is standard, alloys are standard Vaux stuff, not painted or anything
