Slow leak in my tire

I think my front passenger side tire slowly leaks. Should I cheap out and just pump it with a little bit of sealant or by a new tire?

If you can't find any punctures on the tire, take the wheel off, lay it on the ground, pour some water around the bead, and look for bubbles. They wont be big and will be fairly hard to spot. Do this on both sides, but I would put my money on the valve stem. Do the same water trick around the valve stem base, I have had two valve stem leaks recently that resulted in a very slow air leak.

If you take it to a tire repair place they can fix it for like $15-20 bucks.
