Leaking valve stem?

[rsm688]

Okay guys well I have had a slow leak on one of my tires since I had them mounted 7 months ago. I plasti dipped my wheels and have been too busy to deal with it so have just added a little air every week or two. Anyways I'm ready to fix it, I'm guessing it's the valve stem area that is leaking (they were removed and reinstalled). Do I need to purchase a full new valve stem unit to replace it with or is there just some kind of seal or something that can be replaced? Or is it just glue/sealant like is used on the tires and the shop can just remove it and re-seal/re-install?


Thanks,
Spencer

Are you positive it is the valve stem? Did you do a soap test? Maybe it is just the schrader valve was not re-installed tight.

they have rebuild kits for the TPMS sensor

Yeah I would rub the tire down in soapy water and track the leak down first then look for a fix

Yep, rebuild the tpms sensor. Replaces the rubber gasket under the rim. Also check if it's a valve core.
