Ok went and look at those and yep there are a few that seem to be tucked into the rim.

Default Leak

You didn't say what tires you had. My front Commander 2 had a slow leak for a while, it's quit, don't know if it's a harder compound and takes awhile to settle in or what. It has sealed up on it's own.

Is the stem tight? Easiest thing to check and most common cause.
