Maybe. I'd check the valve stem area with soapy water or store-bought leak detection fluid.
Good luck.

give a shot of air to the tire to get it pumped up, then wet the stem to see bubbles. if none, wet around bead. as said. a lil soapy water in a squirt or spray bottle helps.
many tiems these are tubed tires anyway.. so a leak OTHER than the stem means you need to break it down to patch / repalce tube, and celan up rim, etc.
