Kind of hard to get torque steer in a RWD car.

Yes they will. If you lose pressure again, take it somewhere that will PATCH it

I bet there is something in the LF too. Scrutinize it carefully. If all esle fails, remove the wheel from the car, pump it up to over 30 psi and submerge it in some water. You will see bubbles at the leak. Alternatively, you can spray soapy water over the wheel and look for bubbles. Likely sites are all along the tread, the seating surface (interface of tire and rim) and the valve stem.

I do not recommend the slime. It will cause a big mess that is difficult to clean.

^check valve stems too. sometimes the valve inside is loose, other times the stem itself is cracking...

Thank you, but if you couldnt tell i am very aware of this. I was just doing my best to describe what the car was doing. Obviously if i thought it was torque steer i would have thought it to be normal. So i would never have posted to begin with.
