Had a slow puncture on mine last year, slowly got worse and worse. Thought feck this, ordered a new tyre as it only has a couple of months left in it. Then I noticed that it was pissing air out of the valve! A £5 quid tool from Halfords let me tighten it up and it was all good then... Still went a got new tyre though... Moral of the story, check the simple and obvious shit first.
However, if you've seen a bubble from the staple hole, then yeah its definitely leaking there. Why not pop by your local tyre place, they'll ought to be able to repair it from inside, maybe with glue, maybe with a plug. Far better than trying to bodge it from outside where it'll take wear and abuse from the road.
