Leak in tire?

So, this is the first car I have ever owned (going on 7 months now ) and i absolutely love it -- obviously -- but i think i have a leak in my rear tire!! I keep getting the low tire sensor to pop up and when i checked the pressure it was 12 PSI below what all the other tires were (and what it is suppose to be). So I was thinking of getting it patched -- is that a good idea?

Thanks!!!

Have you located a puncture in the tire?

Dismounting the tire and examining it from the inside would be your best bet to seeif this tire is repairable. Being run on low pressure can wear the tire from the inside out.
