I've had a similar problem a few times before. Like Andy said, it could just be a bad seal on the bead.
First, take the wheel off and thoroughly inspect your tire all around and be sure you don't have a screw or something lodged in there (often the cause of slow leaks, and often easy to miss on a quick look over)If this is the case its a simple plug at your local tire shop.
Second, have the tire re-installed making sure the guy doing it inspects the bead sealing surface of the wheel carefully for defects or corosion, cleans the wheel, and lubricates the tire properly when its installed. New air valves are only a couple of bucks, so put these on now while the tire is off. (EVERY TIME the tire comes off the wheel, change the valve- its cheap preventative maintenance)
If, after those steps, you've still got the leak, then its time to start thinking about replacing the tire, or the wheel. Or you can just top off the air every now and then to save some cash.
Good luck!
