Apparently it could be leaking from anywhere and my last option is to pull the f****** tire and retape it or some BS. And of course I already put the sealant in it so now that will be $$ wasted.

Tubeless freaking sucks. Straight up sucks. I might make my 1 1/2 hour round trip to the shop to have them do it then sell the goda** bike and just ride my old Cannondale F4.
Go back to tubes and try another day when you are calmer.

You could probably save the sealant if you are careful, the tape is a loss though.
