Low Tire Sensor Problem SOLVED

This is a problem I had showing my front right tire was low. I had it pulled and soaped for leaks, Nothing was found and it was put back on and pressured up. When I get to about 60 MPH the sensor would go off again and the tire was low.
SOLUTION : I found the 12mm nut to the sensor on the rim was loose and centrifugal force at higher speed caused it to leak. Tightened the nut with a 12mm deep socket and it is fine now. I went over all others and tightened a little on each.
Has anyone else run into this problem?

Yes, that happened to me within the first 1000 miles.
