We often use " some reasons" in our daily conversation.What does it exactly mean? I saw in Oxford dictionary using that set of words in sentence like " Police has come to that building for some reasons".That's means we should use " some reasons" we we are not aware of the reason exactly.
My question - Is it appropriate to say that " I want to take a leave for some reasons"?

yes,infact the phrase "some reasons" also means you need privacy on your own problems.E.g. I want to take a leave for some reasons. You know your own reasons but you dont wish to tell anyone about it, so you might say "some reasons".It's a hint of privacy in conversations.

Actually, the phrase is 'for some reason', even though there may be more than one reason. It implies that the reason for the action, whatever it may be, is unknown to the speaker.
As to your question, when you want to do something, you generally know that reason for doing it, so you should be specific. 'I want to take a leave (of absence from work, for instance) because I'm selling my house', or whatever the reason is. However, if it's a vague sense of something, 'For some reason, I feel the need to go home' would be more appropriate.

Not exactly. You probably DO know why you want to take a leave- And it would be much more fluid to simply state the reason. Otherwise, it seems like some strange invisible force is calling you, but you don't know for what.

It is awkward. Try I need to take a leave for the following reasons. Then list the reasons.

Yes, it is appropriate. You say "some reasons" when you do not wish to tell the listener the reasons or you reluctant to explain the reasons to the listener.

I want to take a leave for various reasons, or several reasons or some reason that I do not wish to talk about

I think it would be much more proper to say that you want to take a leave for personal reasons. That doesn't sound like you're trying to cover something up.
