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.

What kind of wheel? What kind of tires? This is necessary info in order to provide any sort of help.
