An easy way to check the valve stem for leaks is to take the valve stem cap off(if it has one) and spray some glass cleaner into and around the valve stem. If you see bubbles start to form then there is a leak.
Having a patch put on the tube is not very expensive, usualy anywhere from $5 to $15. The more expensive part is the dismounting, remounting and balancing of the tire and tube, usualy anywhere from $25 to $45. Call your mechanic and ask his prices for the above mentioned.
