I have posted a thread about uneven tire pressure that caused nasty pull.
It got fixed after i corrected pressure on every tire, however rear right tire pressure is keep on dropping within every two days or so.
Anyone know why is it doing that? I went to small shop on the way home to check if there's any puncture on the tire but they couldn't find any.
Oh, i have apprx. 14k miles on the tire.
Nasty pulls are really scary at time when i shift.

Squirt some fix-a-flat shite in there and be done with it. If you don't change your own tires, you don't have to deal with the goop anyway so who cares.

For something as critical to your safety as a tire, either fix it correctly, or replace it.

My comment was direct more to the fact that it's probably a leaking valve stem and that the original question was something like "my tire is leaking, what should I do?"
The obvious answer is take it somewhere and have it looked at. If the original poster can't figure that much of this out or is unwilling to do it, the fix-a-flat works great.

I just had this issue last week with my car. Every time this has happened to me (twice now), it has been a dead giveaway for something puncturing the tire. Most recently, they yanked a drywall screw out. 
For the $20 or so, it's worth it to take it to a shop and have it examined.

when you put the overinflated tire in a water tank, rock the valve stem back and forth. i once had a valve leaking where it goes thru the wheel. at rest it was fine, when the wheel was spinning, centrifigul force bent the valve out and let it leak. drove me nutz!
