Sudden tire pressure loss

Tire pressure sensor kicked in on my and I found my right rear (PS1) was down to 15 psi. Brought it back up to 35 and have been monitoring. For two days now there has been no loss in air pressure. The only thing I can correlate this to is hitting a pretty mean pothole only with that tire the night before. Could that force the air out of my tire somehow?

you might have a bent lip on the inside side of the wheel (side facing the
center of the car). I suggest you take the wheel off the car and inspect.

your valve stem might have come loose too.

Holy Sh*t you were right, I've got a bent lip. Question now is do I buy a new wheel or can someplace repair this. Suggestions appreciated.

Fortunately I've got the winter set to hold me over for a bit.

I've got the 18" x 8", 7 spoke. The rear one is the bent one. You're not selling one by any chance are you??
