Hello All, My Seca II's rear tire is slowly losing air pressure, 5-10psi or more over a weekend. I've been checking it every morning and sometimes needing to add a little air. I've put soapy water all over the tire's tread and sidewalls and the bead next to the wheel too. After dealing with this for several days, I finally removed the wheel/tire and took it to our local BMW service dealer (we've only got two local dealers, BMW & HD) to see if they can figure it out.

Any ideas on this in case they can't figure it out either? One of my co-workers wondering if it was leaking through the wheel's spokes. I guess that's possible, of course I wouldn't know without taking the wheel off too.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.
