Calm down, use the .lin file. now move into 3d view, and then follow the line starting at bleu and ending in red, somewhere the line should cross from void to world, there is your leak.
This always works for me, within minutes i have serval leaks traced and solved.

When it asks to load the default .pts file click no and search your .lin file, it should be in the directory the compiler puts your map.

The best wat to find leaks imo is to make a box around a part of the map, compile and see if there's still a leak. If there is, enlarge the box. If its not
you know that the leak in somewhere inside the box, make it smaller until you find it.

Its one line going from bleu to red, and it should show in 3dview if you picked the .lin file, you can load it in hammer itself in the the options i believe.

The points will only be shown in the 3D view if you're using Hammer 3.5b.
Read the article over at RUST on leaks.

I always 'Load Pointfile' That helps alot, just follow the blue line until it turns real red, then your leak is there.

Whats the problem you have with hammer 3.5? 
Try getting the newst zoner compiling tools for it needs them! I discovered it when I first got hammer 3.5 and after the compiling nothing changed and when I changed the compiling tools it worked!

Maybe the reason for not finding leaks
Sometimes I have func_walls or other ent.s which have exactly the same properties so I make them one and the same entity to reduce entity numbers. But if the parts are far from each other it can cause a leak you cannot see beacause the parts count as one entity and the entity gets much bigger, even if the parts are in, the box's sides when you see when you select the entity can be outside the map. Hope this helps.

Brushes based enitities can't cause a leak they just don't stop it! 
I had a brush based entities that was partly in the outside world!

Brush entities can cause leaks, actually. It's all about their origin, or center if you want to call it that. Same goes for point-based entities: whenever their center is in the void, they cause a leak.
Combining multiple brushes into one entity has some drawbacks bytheway:
Combining multiple brushes into one entity has some drawbacks bytheway:
- whenever a part of it is visible, all parts are rendered
- it's hard for the compile tools to determine when the entity is visible, and when not. Entities that span across multiple leafs could even always get rendered... this has to do with the way the map is cut up into a bsp-tree.

Null the box then! 
And the faces that face the void.

I have made box smaller and rectangular to maps surface,(exp:map is triangle,so I made another triangle over it)
