Errors when running map

I keep getting two errors when trying to run a map I made in Portal 2.

1. I get an error that says something about the Entity trigger_catapult was leaked. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

2. I get another error that says it can't find a .prt file. What exactly is a .prt file and how do I make one?

The first error's causing the second error. Go to Map-->Load Pointfile... and a red line will appear in your map in Hammer showing you where there's a leak. Basically it means that there's a hole going from the inside of your map to the outside void. Once you fix it the "no PRT file" issue will go away.

That was the first thing I saw when I came to this forum. I've played with Hammer before, so I already know some things, but I never actually made an actual map like I'm trying to do now.
