Hi,
As you know leave and leaving are both noun but in the case of your sentence the latter one can be the only proper choice because leave as a noun doesn't mean the same as leaving.
And you can use "departure" as the better alternative in your sentence:
E.g: Are you all right with my departure?
Hope it helps,
