The same thing happened to me awhile back ago. I had brand new tires and I thought some nail punctured it. Luckily it was just a loose tire valve. So, I would check the tire valve first and see if there's a leak there. Place some water on it and if its bubbling then that's the culprit. Then go to an automotive store and get a tire valve tool for less than $5 bucks so you can tighten the valve core.

Good luck.

I would pray that it's just a leak at the valve if I were you... Otherwise that might be more than a $5 fix...
