When you park on that spot on the pavement

If it does not leak after several times of doing this
Park it on that spot, spot down, and see if it goes flat again
You have to make Mark the tire and the wheel before you get it repaired aka aired back up

You want to eliminate that from the test,
If it does not go flat when parked on the spot , replace the valve
Heck pay a few bucks and have it replaced now while getting the tire aired back up
