im lost as to what you are trying to do. did u replace the whole valve stem or just the inner core? proper thing to do is buy the valve stem for about 5.00 and replace that. if fluid is coming from inside from around tube , then you need to call tire shop for repair. you dont want to be sealing calcium inside of rim to rust everything up."weeps right at the stem"... is that from inside or outside of stem??

Sounds to me like you are wanting to convert a tube-type tire & rim to a tubeless tire and rim (leaving the tube with calcium solution inside)? Is that what you are trying to do? If you answer back, then some guys here will know exactly what's happening. As someone else said, you post is a bit confusing.

If you have calcium touching the rim it will have to be replaced before long. New rims are expensive enough it is worth fixing the tube. There are no easy shortcuts.

Sound's like he's trying to say air come's out between valve and hole in rim. That will often happen although tube is leaking somewhere else. The solution is remove tube,repair it right,clean wheel up and put it back to geather. The tire and tube need's to be removed and wheel cleaned/painted even if going tubless.
