Those leaks can be two things:
1.) The entities are located outside of the map: in the void. Put them back in the map.
2.) They could be telling you where the leak starts. Compile you map and type 'pointfile' in the console. White dots appear on your map. Follow those dots. Whenever it intersects a brush there is a leak. Patch em up! Take a look at http://www.slackiller.com/tommy14/errors.htm which will be a great asset later on. Good luck!

Very nice map especially for a beginner. There were several things wrong besides the leak. BTW, the leaks were at the top of each corner of the bottom section. Just extending those walls a little further fixed it. Always do a check for problems (Alt+P) in your map. When you see "func_xxxx is empty" you need to click 'go to error', then close the check for problems box, put your cursor over any of the 2-D windows and hit your delete key. Do this for each empty func_. Your skyname in map properties was causing problems, I removed it for now. It was probably just an invalid skyname. And lastly, your info player start was inside a wall. I moved it down to the floor. See the attached map containing all the fixes.
