Thanks for the info. I did get a valve core tool, the little red Stan's one. So, you deflate the tire, remove the valve core and check if it is plugged? Seems counter-intuitive to me that it being plugged would result in a leak - shows ya what I know!
One thing I don't have yet but is next on my list is a compressor--right now I'm just using my floor pump.
