I had the same issue on my '94 9000 CSE. It turned out that the inside portion of the rim was bent and preventing the tire from sealing properly. This led of course to leaking air. It started out slow, but then got real bad. I replaced the rim with one from a junk yard. Bring your tire to a tire shop and they can put it a tub of water and see where the air is leaking from. In my case it would only leak when there was weight on it.
