You can buy a can of tire sealant from Canadian Tire instead?

Only downside, some of those sealants hinder a proper patch repair later.
If it was me and I'm stuck, buy a quickie plug kit n jam one in there. Be sure glue doesn't spray onto your paint when inserting.

Seeing you are going to the DaSilva's show, would they be able to repair it?

The valve stem portion of the TPMS sensor could be leaking, same as any other type of tire valve. You can buy just the stem, from Ford the one to go on the sensors used on your car retail for about $40. Not sure if the aftermarket is doing a less expensive replacement yet, I know they're out there for the older style sensors used on the S197s for about a 1/3 of the price of the stem on those.


cheers
