Yes, to "take a leak" means to urinate. You should be aware that this phrase is informal and a bit impolite. Less impolite synonyms of "urinate" are "pee", "whiz", and "tinkle". However, each of these words are pretty informal, so if you want to be more formal, you can just say "relieve oneself" or "use the bathroom". Another synonym of "urinate" is "piss", however this word is very rude. Ex: Can you stop the car? I have to pee! Ex: I drank too much water and now I have to take a whiz. Ex: I gotta take a piss.
