does my tire leak, do i have a bead leak, or is it caused by corrosion?

its a Prodigy Sport 7000v 205 40r17 84v. Where the tire meets the rim, it leaks out, it was completely flat, i put about 10-12 psi and it all came out within 5 minutes. what could be wrong?

Your rim is probably bent.

It may be leaking through some corrosion making it porous. A tire shop might be able to open the bead & apply some bead-sealant. Might work, might not....
