Garage didn't want any payment took the x as I said 2 three places, the last one took it off but never dunked it

I agree with others here that the dunking method as being the best here. If you can't get anyone to dunk it, take a little dish washing detergent and water, mix it and slowly rotate the tire while spraying or pouring the solution on the valve stem and across the tread of the tire. It will begin to bubble when the air from the leak hits it. Add a little extra air beyond the required pressure, to exaggerate the leak. If you don't want to take the wheel off just have someone you trust slowly drive backwards or forward while you squirt the tire with the solution. Take your time and you will find it.
