In GTK Radiant, go Open your .map, then go File > Pointfile...

A red line will be drawn in your editor view, and the red line will end at a point where the leak happens. This end point could be an entity, most likely.

No entities are allowed outside your map. No entities allowed in void space.

Edit:
The red line might also shown through a tiny crack hole in your walls or floors connecting points perhaps. No spaces. Select your brushes and snap them to the grid.

-BSP and -VIS are both required for a compile.

Make sure:
  • Your entire map is sealed from the void.
  • You have at least one info_player_deathmatch in the map.
  • You don't have entities outside the map.
  • You don't have the origin of an entity (including models) clipping the outer hull of your map.
  • You caulk behind all patch meshes.
  • You aren't using a shader with non-solid properties in the outer hull of your map.
