To locate a leak in your tire you can concoct a mixture of dish liquid soap and water into a spray bottle.

Using your spray bottle, squirt all over the tire you think is leaking, the valve system (with valve cap off), treads and sidewalls etc until you see bubbles form.

Once you see bubbles, you have located your leak.
