My blueberries look sick and I need advice on what to do for them. Note: I planted leeks in the same bed this past summer. The leeks are gone.

Thank you for your question. Without more information about your berries' environment, we can't tell what problem(s) they have. Here is a guide to growing blueberries successfully: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/catalog/pub/ec-1304-growing-blueberries-your-home-garden
In order to determine whether the pH is acidic enough, and that there are adequate nutrients, I suggest that you get a soil test, and follow recommendations for soil amendments you can apply this fall so they take effect in the spring. The only testing lab in the Metro area is this one: https://al-labs-west.com/
Good luck!
