Default Keep getting bad valve stems...

I recently had a slow leak on one of my rear wheels and i found that when i pushed on the valve stem it would leak air. I had a new valve installed and it seemed to be fine--no air would leak when I pushed it. I just notice the same tire is low again after two weeks with the new valve and when i push on the valve stem it, again, leaks air. What's going on here? The valve stem is only a couple weeks old. Anyone else experience something like this?

I had that happen with one of my cars, but when I pushed the valve stem, it would stop leaking and if left alone, more air would leak. I had the tire replaced twice and now everything is fine. Been running for about 3 months.
