Ah.. ok..

Fix the hole between the portalbrush and the regular brush.
Compile again
If the map is still leaked (which is probably will be) go to File->Pointfile again.

This leak is a portal leak, and not related to the leak error in your compile.

I have the Same, well not exact the Same, Problem.
I have a Leak but it´s not in the Skybox and not in a Building or Portal.
To be very Precise, it is somewhere outside there is nothing.

What will happen if I compile now? will the Map fail?
If yes, what can I do to fix such things?

How do you know it's outside?

Did you do the file->pointfile thing? If so, did it start inside the skybox and end outside? Or did it start and stayed outside?

A leak in your map is NOT a good thing and should be fixes, because alot of problems will arise from it.

it is completely Outside, miles away from the Map.

Strange hmm?

Not really.. it probably means you've accidentaly put a model or spawnpoint or something out there.

Make sure you're not filtering something out by accident.

It started inside the Map, then I wanted to know what it could be and marked everything with "I" then moved the whole Map some levels up but the Leak spot stays where it was.
Maybe a "Ghost-Texture" or something?

Ok.. that's not how the red line works.. the pointfile contrains coordinates, so when you move the map, nothing happens/ the line is still going through the old coordinates.

This means the leak IS in your skybox is in a portal.
Recompile, go to file->pointfile again and figure out where the line goes through a leak spot.

k, now I was not Precise enough, I did that alreaddy and it stayed there.

Make sure the .lin file was actually updated.. if the red line shows the same still as in the picture it hasn't.

Looks to me like a portal leak, but I might be mistaken.
There IS a leak somewhere in your map if the compiler says so.

Ok, closed the Portal and very Important, closed the Skybox on Top! Sickboy,Sickboy,Sickboy....remind nexttime that you shold cover the Skybox on top!
