Virgo Wheel/Tire Problem... little help? 200

Hey all,

I'm running 15x6 Virgo alloys as summer tires, with matching Kumho Ecsta 716's on the back, and brand new Fuzion HRi's on the front. The virgo wheels are offset, and those tires are directional (there is an outside and inside marking on the sidewalls)

My mechanic put them on, mounted them etc. But now (150mi away from my mechanic) the passenger front tire leaks right on the weight. I did "the windex check" and low and behold, bubbles flowing from beneath the weight...

I really don't want to bring it to some tire joint, but I fear im out of options... BTW, I know it's not a puncture, so fix-a-flat ain't gonna help this guy... I consider myself a decent DIYer, but I don't have the equipment for this job... If i do take it somewhere, should I specifically mention that the tire must be mounted offset, so I don't blow the sidewall in half?

Let me know what you'd do, and maybe some other options if you can!
Thanks!

Best
