The term leap year is a misnomer. A year with February 29 is an intercalary year and is 366 days long. If by 'leap year' you mean February 29, the day added to the intercalary year, then there is no greater likelihood that an eclipse will happen then than on any other day; the calendar is a completely artificial construct made by us simply to help us organize time. If you are talking about the intercalary year as a whole, that is different. If you do calculations over a very large number of years, maybe 1,000 or 10,000, there will be a tiny but real increase in the number of eclipses during intercalary years, just by virtue of the fact that they are very slightly longer.
