Hi WD's, I need advice and help

I have a very slight ding in my front rim. This is causing my new MITAS E10 to slow-leak along the bead a lower pressures. At 2.0 the wheel is OK...

One spoke at the spot is also slightly loose, confirming that I must have hit a rock at some stage.

Strangely this is the same rim and problem that have never given issues on a 2 TKC80's  or Metzeler Tourance. I had it checked out by my dealer at the time, and they said it was still OK to use.

Is there someone in the Cape town / Northern Suburbs area can can do check out the rim and do repairs if necessary?

Please look at the pictures and please give me your opinions.
