I follow the tut Reno made (at least I think I am) but as soon as I make my grassy area a displacement (power of 3) then look at it from below, you can see through it as if there is no brush there at all. If I look at it from above evrything is fine. When I compile I get leaks starting from below it. I boxed it in and its ok now but should I have to box all my displacement surfaces all the time?

Yes, displacement is just a surface. It doesn't act as a solid brush, so your map will leak unless you have something underneath it.
Make sure you use a nodraw texture for the brush beneath your displacement, because there is no point of having real texture when no one can see it.
