Compile Leak? Help!

Warning: === LEAK in hull 0 ===
Entity light @ ( 187,-1388, 192)
Error:
A LEAK is a hole in the map, where the inside of it is exposed to the
(unwanted) outside region. The entity listed in the error is just a helpful
indication of where the beginning of the leak pointfile starts, so the
beginning of the line can be quickly found and traced to until reaching the
outside. Unless this entity is accidentally on the outside of the map, it
probably should not be deleted. Some complex rotating objects entities need
their origins outside the map. To deal with these, just enclose the origin
brush with a solid world brush

pretty simple, right? track down the leak and fix it.

i spent 3 hours last night workin on this problem, i had most of my map textured with 3x3x3 info_team_starts trying to track down the leak, and then the leak kept following one team start, no matter where i moved it on the map, so i removed it, and it would pick another one to follow around. I dunno what to do!! HELP!

is it really a leak or just an error with my point entities?

    if you have hammer 3.5, load your pointfile

    every place where the pointfile goes through a border wall (border wall meaning that the other side of that wall is the void beyond your map) is where the leak could be

    Yeah, THAT and you might have an entity with a brush going through it, this causes errors if thats to my knowledge

    For the love of Narf why did I even bother writing this thing.

    Try the stickies next time.

    I have a similiar problem to this! I've read the tutorial, but i can't find it with the "pointfile", or any of the other methods... The weirdest thing is when i copy the sections of the map into a new map file the leak dissappears in that part of the map, but then in the main map file it reappears!
