Do the soap trick again but this time lightly flex the valve stem back and forth. Its probably leaking where the valve stem meets the wheel.
Also make sure to form a soap bubble over the top of the valve stem and watch closely. I slow leak will take a couple seconds to spot.
My guess is that checking the tire pressure upset the valve stem. Either leaking at the base or the shradder valve itself is leaking.
Also your vehicle should have a jack that is strong enough to lift the axle enough to get the tire 1 inch off the ground. While the manufacture does not recommend jacking up the axle its the method i see tire dealers use. I dont see any difference in driving the trailer onto a driveway.
