Tire losing pressure, can't figure out why

Guess this isn't really an X3 specific question, but figured I'd ask it here.

On my wife's 2012 X3 35i (non-sport), one of the tires has a slow leak. Seems simple enough, take it to the tire store, have them fix it. Well I took it there a while back, and they said there was nothing wrong with it, so I took it home. Went flat again. Took it back there, they said there was a nail in the tire that they took out but hadn't punctured it so that wasn't the cause. Took it home, flat again. The people at the store went so far as to ask me if maybe someone was letting air out of the tires. Yeah, gremlins I'm sure.

Any ideas what could be happening? It's a frustrating problem for sure.

On top of that, for some reason the TPM keeps saying the back right tire is low, when it's the back left tire that is actually the problem, and the back right is fine. So somehow they're switched? They're the original tires, and the car only has 7500 miles. Guess I need to go to the dealer for that anyway?
