And if you're having trouble spotting a slow leak, put a little dish soap into a bottle of water and spray/splash it over your leaking tire.
Find the spot where the bubbles are spewing forth and you've found your leak.

All true, in fact that's the kind of kit I have. I showed the "T"-handled ones because the screwdriver ones are a little hard on the bare hands...I suppose I coulda used gloves.
Also, if you're short on soap, a field expedient
leak locator agent is good old fashioned spit. One time I was near a lake and just took the tire off, submerged it in the water, and looked for the stream of bubbles.
It's so easy, you'll go looking for a flat. Well maybe not, but you know what I mean.
