I don't see any reason to request a leave. The faculty member will be there working on the project. The problem is documenting the effort outside of the payroll/accounting system since you cannot cost share a summer salary from a non-existent funding source. I would document the effort in a letter and have the PI sign the letter certifying that he or she has provided the effort and put it in the file.
