The first thing I would do is check the valve core and valve stem insert with soapy water to see if it has a slow leak. When I take the tube out and check it, I don't have a large immersion tank, so I use soapy water in a spray bottle or you can wipe it on the tube with a rag. You will need to inflate the tube larger than it would be in the tire to make a small leak more easily noticed. For tiny leaks you have to be slow and meticulous in your inspection. If you don't find it after covering evey inch of the tube, try again later. If you still have no success,have another person check; he may see what you have missed; or you could try inflating it even more. If that didn't work, I would try some tire sealant. Make sure to inspect every inch of the inside of the tire for anything poking through. Also inpect the inside of the rim for anything sharp.
