Any suggestions to find/fix the leak? or am I better off buying a new rear tire for a little more?
Perhaps the valve is bad?
How about taking the wheel (or the bike) to the shop and letting them check/fix it? It takes so very little time to do so and costs almost nothing (compared to new tire).
And when you know whats happening, and depending on the overall state of the tire (how spent, how old) decide if you want to patch it or change it.
