A leak is a leak. Doesn't matter if the tire is old, new, big, small, it must SEAL all the way around the rim on both sides and it doesn't take much to cause a leak if everything is not just right when they mount them. Valve stems can leak too but *shouldn't* be leaking this early on new rims. If the tire shop didn't get them mounted right and one or more is leaking then go back to them and demand that they fix it, simple as that.
Put it this way, there is certainly nothing you can do at this point. You are going to need the tire shop to address the leak, because you are not going to be equipped to deal with such a thing. I would recommend you DO NOT try to cop out by pumping any kind of "Fix-a-flat" leak sealant product into your rims. For one thing, that stuff practically never works. For another, it creates a huge nasty mess for the tire shop guys, and third, it could gum up your TPMS sensors. Just take it back to the shop and tell them its still leaking and let them do their thing. They will probably dismount it, clean the beads, and put it back on quick and you will be good to go.
Remember, it is not unusual for pressure in the tires to be different from day to day, they change with temperature even while driving they can change a few PSI and that is normal. But if you are having to add air all the time, that is not normal.
You are right, I’ll go back to the tire shop and ask them to fix it. I thought maybe since it was on the drivers side and I usually drive alone that they will leak more air than the others on the passenger side...
