Long story short "slow leak - cheap fix - does my tyre have an innertube"

as far as i am aware without a tube it would go flat as of all the holes for the spokes i run battleaxes with the tubes put in and its fine before that i ran pirrelies all "tubeless tires) but run fine with a tube . one way of telling is if its got a tube u will find a nut at the base of the valve and if it was without tubed u would have a valve that looks same as a car type ?
