[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1459509, member: 19880"] If it isn't the valve stem, valve core, a hole in the tire itself or a leak where the bead seals to the rim, I would wonder if there is a crack in the wheel casting itself. Might not see anything unless the entire wheel was submerged (to the probable detriment of the bearings and ABS stuff). This doesn't seem very likely to me unless the wheel was involved in some sort of mishap - on the road or in the shop. I would probably dismount the tire and examine the inside for any anomalies (rim too). I would thoroughly clean the rim where the bead makes contact, clean the tire bead (and look for bead damage). Replace the valve and core and try again. [/QUOTE]
