The tire is losing pressure because it has a leak, its possible you bent the lip of the rim and thats whats leaking. A tire cam cause a "drift" but if it started right after you hit the pothole you probably knocked the alignment out. Take the car in to the shop and have them find your tire leak and do a rotation of your tires then have it aligned.

Depending on how hard you hit it, you may also have a bent lower control arm. Just so you don't freak if the alignment shop tells you so.
