"You can take random leaves or same day leaves without informing your seniors earlier."

Please check.
 
I think you mean leave (an absence from work, which is a non-countable noun), not leaves (appendages that grow on plants).

You can take a personal leave without getting permission in advance. I had to guess what you meant by random leave. Do you think I guessed right?

Is my sentence totally incorrect?

No, but random leave is not a term I'm familiar with. If you mean a day off without notice then personal leave or, in AmE, a "personal day off" would be suitable. The rest of the sentence was a little oddly worded but comprehensible.

Don't let this upset you. Learning foreign languages is difficult, and writing in one naturally is the hardest part to learn. You're making good progress.

Thanks. What is the way to mention more than one day leave?

"He took more than one personal leave without informing his seniors in advance."
 
That's OK. Rather than 'seniors', I'd say 'boss' (informally) or 'supervisor' (formally).
 
We don't use "one leave" to mean "one day's leave". "Leave" is, in itself, an uncountable noun. You have to specify an actual number of hours/days/weeks.

He is on leave.
He is on leave for a week.

A: I want to take leave.
B: When?
A: Next week.
B: For how long?
A: Three days; Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
