Take a rubber mallet and beat on the sidewall adjacent to the leak.
While inflated, three or four whacks.
I have fixed many a leaking bead tire that way, big and small.

You might have also managed to wedge a piece of wood between tire and bead.
Usually happens when you turn not quite soon enough and the tire scraps up against a hunk of wood or even a fence post, etc.
