My spare tire is losing pressure - 3 lbs. a week.
I would appreciate any suggestions how to find and cure the leak.

Take it to a tire repair shop and leave it with them. They should be able to find/fix the leak.

America's Tire Company...

http://www.americastire.com

If there's one in your area, they do flat repairs for free.

There's also "Slime"...

DIY?

Remove spare from boot, imerse in bathtub full of water, look for bubbles. Or, just check the valve stem. A tightening, or new core may fix the problem.
