Default Slow Tire Leak. Need Suggestions

I have a slow leak in my right front tire. What is the best suggestion on getting this fixed?

Thanks.

Default Best suggestion

is to find the source and repair it. It's typically a valve stem on a slow leak.
Take it to a tire shop, and they'll usually soak it in water to see where the bubles come from.

Then have them dismount the tire, repair the problem, remount and balance.

I had a combination patch+plug put in mine at NTB. It's safer than a plain patch or plug.
