When the guy took the tyre off it was filled with tyre weld so he give it a good clean , changed the valve and checked again for any leaks , everything seemed ok.
Because the wheel had tyre weld in it and a slow puncture, with no obvious issue with the tyre itself, suggests there could be a fault with the wheel. It's possible the wheel is either porous, which can and does happen the aluminium over time or it could be cracked/fractured both of which will give you a slow puncture. Check the bead and tyre again if it's still going down you need to suspect one of the above.
