No VIS information. You either DO have a leak, or haven't turned on VIS.
Note that entities outside your level also count as a leak.

Nope, but the entity that's named when you have a leak is the closest entitiy to the leak. Start searching in it's vicinity.
When you play the (fully bright) map, type 'pointfile' in the console. Follow the dots, they can lead you trough or close to the leak. Note that it doesn't always lead you to the leak but at least it can help you sometimes.

Check you're running VIS.

No VIS information means either you still have a leak, or some other error occurs (invalid brush maybe) so HLVIS doesn't get the info it needs to run.
Maybe you had multiple leaks and only solved one.
To ensure all of your settings are right, create a simple box-map with only an info_player_start and a light. If that runs, your settings are right.

You should try to install or reinstall a a compiling program. I use Batch Compiler. Just google it and you'll find it. It has to be the VIS that isn't working correct.

Then there is probably another error in your map. Check the compile log for any errors.

Have you used the pointfile? When your map loads, open the console and type 'pointfile'. It might say something like 'x amount of points read' and white dots will appear in your map. Follow those dots around. Whenever they intersect a brush, theres usually a leak.

You can post it to the Problems map section of the Vault... then we can take a closer look at it.
