As best as I can tell, it's a tubeless tire on the front of my riding mower.
Slow, but determined leak, almost too small to see. The thinned out dish soap proved it, thrice.
What, if anything, would be the quickest and cheapest way to fix a sidewall leak, all by myself? The least expenditure, in time, labor, and/or money?

Yes. No bubbles there.
Sidewall? Pinhole and Don Ho whistling TINY BUBBLES.
So let's grab our banjos and sing the NEW LYRICS
===============================
Tiny bubbles, on the tire! Make me angry, really crank my ire!
Tiny bubbles, let the air escape! With an un-appealing feeling for the tire's flat or oval shape!
So here''s to a waste of cash, and here's to a waste of time,
And here's me going to the store for a can of SLIME(TM)!
Tiny bubbles, showed me now, just where, and I'm hoping there ain't any more leaks down there!
==============================
(Thunderous applause)
Got a bottle of SLIME, followed the instructions, MADE SURE to tip the tire so the product would be sitting over the pinhole, pumped it up, and the tiny bubbles still came out.
Like the tube suggestion. Pretty sure the Farm & Fleet store will have tube.
If not, there is a Walmart closer than N. 60th.
thanks, all.
Slime works fine on slow leaks .... at least on larger tires like on my Kubota tractor. I just put tubes in the front tires of my Cub Cadet zero turn mower ..... got tired on having to not only fill the old tires with air , but manipulate them where they would even take air. I think I got two on Amazon Prime for $14 and free shipping.
