Did you put the tire-wheel in a water tank with high air pressure ? if not (no tank ,no air compresser) take to a tire shop and pay the six dollars ( Nashville area cost),

I had this problem and took it to America's Tire Co. where they fix leaks for free, and they couldn't find a leak using the water test. So the guy unmounted the tire and a lot of gunk had built up on the rim preventing a good seal. He using a power wheel and scrubbed it mostly off and remounted it. This helped but the leak still isn't totally gone, so next time I get a rotation I'll ask the guy to clean it up some more. This is probably the problem, slow leaks are hard to detect, and punctures rarely stay as slow leaks for a long time.
