Losing Pressure....I have been meaning to ask this 900

My '93 944 has 156k miles, alloy rims and Michelin X-1 tires.

I try to keep the tire pressure at 32 PSI.

Problem is it seems my tires are always low. I stop and fill them every week, and at least one is inevitably as low as 20 PSI. What is happening here? It's been going on for years!

Are my rims corroded? The local tire dealer says no. He has remount them with bead sealer. Are Michelin tire beads symptomatic?

I swear I had the same problem with the steel rims on my 240. They were rusted and had to be sandblasted, and yet the problem came back.

My Chrysler minivan has steel wheels and the same tire. No problems there!

Please help me find the source of these leaks!
