W211 420CDI 2008 Tyre pressure monitoring system

Hello every body can someone help?

One wheel is slightly leaking ( 0.2 bar per week) while the other do not leak at all.

The car is equipped with the Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. The default occurred after a valve cap has been removed for pressure check. Before it was not leaking at all.

I would like to avoid to remove the tyre.

Can some one post pictures of the TPMS and especially the inner part of the valve where it is in contact with the rim? is there any Gasket? or is it metal to metal contact?

I am thinking of re-tightning the valve from external. Is this a good solution?
Any other idea without removing the tyre would be highly appreciated?
Thanks in advance
