I have seen tires leak around the bead only when weight is applied (ie like when the car is on a certain section of the tire).

+1 Replace the valve first. If that doesn't solve it. Replace the tire. Then the wheel.

Ditto. This actually happens quite often.

I have seen this happen with a bad bead, as well as a hairline crack in the wheel.
