My inside left rear is losing 1 - 2 pounds each week.  New tires and new extender hose didn't change the leak, so it's either a leaky rim, leaky tire stem or a leaky valve mounted TPMS sensor.  Maybe I'll pull the sensor and see if it still leaks . . . .

 

 Ben, did you find your leak?

I had a very slow leak and could not find it. the tire shop poured soapy water on it and found the culprit. It was the seal of the valve stem that was leaking. It just needed to be replaced.

That's one of the suspects!  It's the inside tire so not exactly easy to get to.  Maybe for a warmer day . . . .

I bought a 6’ 1/4” air hose rated at 300 psi and replaced the short braided steel hose.

Looking inside the male connector it seems to choke down to 1/8" it'll be fine for tires but don't think it'll power my 1/2" drive impact gun.  🤣

Just FYI.
