Could be cracked or bent, also check the valve stem, if rubber may be torn...
although that would leak alot faster; if metal valve stem it can come loose and cause a slow leak this happened to one of my wheels once.

people always forget the valve.
i had cursed and swore and redone a plug from a nail a couple times over before i realized the plug was fine, the valvestem was just old and leaking.
