It could be the schraeder valve. Probably the easiest way to work out where its leaking from is to pump it up to normal pressure, remove from the bike and immerse in a bowl of water then you can see where its leaking from.
If its the valve, the core can work loose or get a bit of crud in it. Remove using a valve core remover (Halfords less than £5) and clean and refit or replace the core.
If its the air can, replace the bushings and air seals. About £15 for the bits and about 20 minutes work.

I'd go with bigyinn's spot-on advice

Seal replacement is dead simple.
