I've checked for punctures, didn't spot anything obvious. The pressure drops noticeably over a day or so. Could it be something like a faulty tire sensor causing all these issues, or should I focus on finding a slow leak?

While a faulty sensor is possible, a pressure drop that significant is more likely a slow leak, especially given the other symptoms. It could be a valve issue. Honestly, with those symptoms, I'd get it checked out by a professional workshop ASAP. Better safe than sorry with steering and braking!

Thanks for the advice! Took it to a workshop, and it turned out to be a defective valve in the tire. They replaced it, and everything's back to normal. Total cost was about 280€ Appreciate the help!

Sounds serious! The ABS and power steering issues could be linked to the tire problem if the system is detecting a significant difference in wheel speed. You could have a punctured tire. Have you checked the tire itself for any visible signs of damage? Is the pressure loss rapid?
