Saracens held off a second-half fightback to ensure that winless Leeds remain bottom of the Aviva Premiership.
A David Strettle try in between two penalties from Derick Hougaard gave the visitors a 13-0 half-time lead.
A Christian Lewis-Pratt penalty got Leeds on the board, with Leigh Hinton slotting two place-kicks either side of two more from Hougaard.
But Schalk Brits crossed to put the result beyond doubt, before James Ticknell's late consolation score.
