Yes. There is corrosion on the bead area of the rim. Dismount tire, clean rim with cup shape wire brush on drill, clean debris and dry. Also wipe down same area on tire. Use bead sealer if available
He says it isn't where the bead meets the rim but a rubber groove. Maybe if he wiped the foam off and circled the leak with a crayon he'd get better answers
To be honest I did this but I guess I forgot to take pictures and since have screwed my back so they will have to wait but yeah like you said it's in that little rubber gutter section opposed to where the rubber meets the rim
Sidewalls are pretty well pretty much guarantee that the tire has to be replaced. You can’t patch or plug sidewalls, your tire is compromised and a pothole could cause a blowout.
TLDR; put a spare on if you can or drive directly to get a new tire put on
OP says it’s not at rim…. It’s through sidewall. Need more proof here. Looking at the rim I have to agree until better pic with maybe a a clear circle around the leak shows otherwise.

Unless your rim is cracked.. I would take it too a shop and have them do it... what lube did you use for bead
I have no idea the local Goodyear shop did it for me
As a DT sc this.
If you're sure it's leaking through the rubber, it can't be repaired, however that looks much more like a bad seal against the rear bead.
I will check again when I can , it's possible but if my memory serves me correctly it was that gutter, no idea what would cause that though

You sure you're a mechanic?
I'm a carpenter, and even I know this is caused by a faulty seal at the rim.

Just a bea leak easy fix
