neighbor had problem with 2 valve stems leaking on a 02 lexus, after getting new tires, leak was between rubber stem and metal rim, not out the stem center.
she went and got more stems installed from the tire dealer, a day later I put soap on it and it was blowing bubbles . she left town for a week, I checked them today after a week and the tire pressure was the same as what we inflated it to when she left (34 pounds). so no leak.
does time affect the sealing of a stem in any way.
I did not have a chance to do the bubble test again.
