It was still leaking audibly when I got to the office. I brought the wheel in to fix it in the comfort of my cubicle but waited to see how long it would take to go flat. As it turns out, it stopped leaking (or more likely just slowed down a lot) at around 30 psi after about 10 minutes.
You must have the world's most sensitive human ears if you can hear a leak through a tire that was so small that it took 10+ minutes to deflate to 30psi.
