Default Bad lipo cell??

So I have a 6 month old TP5000 40C that I noticed started taking forever to balance. Over the past couple weeks I have kept a close eye on the voltage of each cell and 1 of the cells self discharges at about .01 to .02 volts a day, the other cell does not loose anything. The weird thing is the pack still feels great and is not puffed or anything. I just keep the blinky on it at all times to keep it in balance.

What would cause this self discharging??
