Reckon its likely to be corrosion on the rim. You could try letting the tyre down then reinflating harder than normal, leave it a few days and if its held pressure restore it ton its optimum setting. On the old car I used to let the tyre down, broke the bead seal and went around the rim with gutter sealant which worked well. Not that I would do that on a bike.
