If its got a flat spot the tire won't seal on the rim (hence rim leak)
But it's only the tire as mum ran over a 4cm long screw

A flat spot on a tire will not stop it from getting a good seal on the rim. And yes a rim can leak, it's called a poures rim. This is due to a small imperfection in the rim when it's is being made. To fix this the rim needs to be stripped and sent away to get resealed.
