Time for a new car, Roy. Sorry to tell you the bad news.
Seriously ... tighten the insert! It's a 10 second job. If it still leaks, have a tire shop try a new insert FIRST before breaking the wheel/tire and replacing the rubber valve stem. Here's the real deal: http://www.rd.com/100967/article100967.html
IF you have TPMS's the transponder and stem are separate items and can be replaced independently.

But keep the valve cap --- and get it powder coated or CF wrapped!
