Why do leeward slope of a mountain experience a dry climate?
I assume you are referring to a rain shadow desert but your question makes little sense as written. A rain shadow desert forms when a mountain range blocks the flow of moisture from reaching the interior of a continent. It forces the ran to fall on the windward side of the mountains and little moisture is able to cross the mountains to the leeward side. See the diagram above.

Windward and leeward side of a mountain?
The windward side of a mountain is typically the west side of the mountain, receiving the various weather as weather moves west to east. The leeward side of a mountain opposes the windward side, making it the east side of the mountain, receiving little weather, blocking weather (rain) and warming air rapidly as it moves down this side of the mountain. The leeward side of mountains causes deserts, dry places, little rain, etc., for it releases warm air unto these places, and blocks weather (rain) from moistening them (I.E. Las Vegas, etc. on the eastern side of the mountain ranges).
On the windward side of the mountain you would expect what?
The windward side of the mountain has most of the precipitation. This happens because it gets colder the higher you go. As the air cools off, it reaches its dew point temperature,and the moisture in the air condenses to form clouds, and eventually rain, or snow.
