Got a slow puncture yesterday, found out when the alarm came on, it was the off side rear. This morning I got down and dirty examine the wheel, drive 1/4 turn and check again, third time saw the head of a posidrive screw in the mid section, sprayed soapy water on but no bubbles, surmised it only leaks when moving.
Remembered I had bought some non volitile sealant adhesive that even works underwater and stays flexible so unscrewed out a few turns coated it in the adhesive and screwed it back in. Checked the pressure through the day and no more loss, looks like a good temporary fix until I organise a visit to my tyre store, phoned round today, some don't do repairs and the others quoting Saturday.
