Default tpms contraption UPdate

this is what i made it turns if off but, it leak from i dont know where.
i think its leaking from the valve stem. does lexus use a special valve stem? cause when they installed my work vs-xx, i guess they transfered the valve so i dont know what to do. i didnt mount the tpms. i put newpaper inside to stop the rattle, may that be the problem. it senses pressure, but after 5min it read low tire again !! help! i only used 1 endcap and the other end can be open. i presure test it with water and there were no bubble. im think its the valve stem?? its sitting at an lil angle. any one out there can solve this problem?

Nice bombs, maybe fill it up with air and then put it in a tub of water and see if it leaks from somewhere?

nvm you fixed it.
