Default Tire pressure

this morning a light came on and it was a low tire pressure light and the service people from subaru said it should go off if they are fine but it didn't and i just checked my tires and they are all 34 except one on the back is 26....how would I check if there is a leak??

Take it to a tire place and they can leak test it pretty easy.

They put it in a water tub I think.

Fill it back to 34 and see if it drops again.

My finger would point to the low temps outside of late. Last week, the sensor for air pressure was going off in the Jeep and the Legacy. No leaks just cold ambient temps.

But usually that doesn't cause one tire to be 8 psi lower than the other three. . .
