If the Leo is compacted (constipated) there could be several reasons why.
Usually it's because they've eaten something they shouldn't have. Mine have had issues in the past because one fo them decided a bit of fish tank gravel looked tasty. If they think it looks/tastes nice they'll eat it.

What substrate do you have him on?

What has been the main staple food for them?
You can also try a gentle warm soak as well, as with a lot of reps the warm water seems to encourage them to go as well.
