does the NEURON cable equation include a 'leak' term like
Cdv/dt = - (V/Rm) - Ina - Ik - Ica - Ileak
or is it just
Cdv/dt = - Ina -Ik -Ica - Ileak ?
If there is a (V/Rm) term in the equation, what is the default value of Rm?

create sectionname
produces a cable with cm and Ra (membrane capacitance and
cytoplasmic resistance). If you want noncapacitive membrane
currents, you have to add distributed mechanisms or point
processes.

The basics of model specification in NEURON are presented in
chapters 5 and 6 of the NEURON book; you'll find preprints of
these here
