Did you give that wheel a good jolt recently that flexed the rim or tire and it eventually re-beaded, or sealed itself once air escaped?
I would think the latter happened. I did that with my Camaro once. I lost control of it during a storm and caught a curb so hard my custom fit sub box popped lose and hit the bottom of the hatch. The right front tire dropped to 20 psi and I filled it back up and kept an eye on it and it never dropped pressure like that again.
