Flat tire on my FX two days in a row

Went to my garage yesterday to pull out the FX and immediately noticed the back left tire was flat on the ground. I checked and it had 8 PSI of air left. I checked the whole tire and no nails at all atleast nothing I can see.

Any idea what it could be? When I drove it last Sunday there were no air leaks. This just showed up yesterday. I filled it back up to 34 psi and went outside this morning and it was flat again. Is the tire damaged from sitting flat on the ground or can I just go and get it fixed? Any idea whats wrong or could be causing it?

could be leking from the rim. fill it back up and get high concentration of soap and water in a spray bottle and spray everyting
 
Fill it up again and check it for leaks with a real soapy water solution. Make sure to also check around the valve stem.
lol, looks like Andrew and I posted the same answer at the same time.

Probably hit a pot hole and a tiny leak through a slight bent rim or there is a nail or something u haven't found yet.

I told you the FX was going to be pissed at you.
 
Haven't hit any pot holes cause I haven't been driving it. When I took it out on Sunday it was around the block a few times. No rims bent either. Gonna take the wheel off to see if there is anything I haven't seen.
 
could possibly be that the lip of the rims had salt sitting on it and over the winter it started pitting the aluminum area where the tire meets.
 
I had this happen on my truck. Couldnt find a nail couldnt see a leak on the rim lip.

Pulled the wheel off and I had a nail on the inner lip. Sometimes you just can't see it.

Edit:

And when I say truck, I mean my pickup. Not the FX.
