a relationship between local compactness and closure
$begingroup$
Suppose that $X$ is a Hausdorff locally compact space and $S$ a subset of $X$. Let $xin X$ and suppose that every compact neighborhood of $x$ intersects $S$. Does it follow that $x$ lies in the closure of $S$?

Yes, it is true. Since $X$ is locally compact and Hausdorff, given a neighborhood $U$ of $x$ in $X$, we can find a neighborhood $V$ such that $overline V$ is compact and $overline Vsubseteq U$. As every compact neighborhood of $x$ intersects with $S$, $overline Vcap Sneq emptyset$ $implies Ucap Sneq emptyset$.

Yes I was doubting if every neighborhood has a compact neighborhood so I need to prove this fact now

You can find a proof in 'Topology' by Munkres.

Then any neighbourhood of $x$ contains a compact neighbourhood which intersects $S$, so $xin bar{S}$

In this case ($X$ being locally compact Hausdorff) for every point $x$ of $X$, every neighbourhood of $x$ contains a compact neighbourhood of $x$ - see.
Then any neighbourhood of $x$ contains a compact neighbourhood which intersects $S$, so $xin bar{S}$
