My Caddy's 16 inch front wheel tire is losing air over time, but Shop guy said he found no leak. Sigh.?




lookat


Well I know there is. I keep pumping air up in it. It never goes down completely, but can go from aroun 38 psi to 28 psi in a few weeks. I air it up with a bicycle pump only to about 38 psi. If we don't drive it the tire doesn't seem to lose the air as fast. Could it be rim leak or valve stem leak? or could some kid be letting out air of our tire at night to make me crazy? I looked for nails, screws tiny bolts and slithers of glass, but don't see anything. The shop guy did put the tire under water and found nothing. This problem has been with me for months. Can you reseat a tire by removing it from the rim and coating the rim and tire with some kind of lubricant and then reseat it and replace the valve stem if nothing is found in the tire? wouldn't any type of tire leak as described above be found using the simple water submersion test? Sigh.


Answer
it could be leaking around the rim or a valve core leaking. it could be like a tire i had once. it did,nt leak when there was no pressure on it but as soon as i put it back on then it started to leak. maybe it only leaks when the pressure of the car is on it.
