It is my understanding that if you take a standard grey with no leu in the lineage and take a Leu you have a 50 percent chance of producing a leu.
I am not sure what you want to produce.
If I had a grey with no het for anything I would find another compatible grey with no het for anything to breed it to.
In my opinion we are losing the grey lines that have no het in them.

It is my understanding that if you take a standard grey with no leu in the lineage and take a Leu you have a 50 percent chance of producing a leu. To produce a Leu - BOTH parents must carry the recessive gene for the leucistic coloring and pass that gene on to the offspring. Breeding a standard grey with a Leucistic glider would produce ONLY grey gliders that are 100% leu Het. All joeys would carry 1 copy of the recessive gene from the leucistic parent. The Het stands for heterozygos meaning the glider carries 1 recessive gene for the trait - which it can pass on to its off spring. Breeding two UNRELATED grey gliders that are both 100% leu het will produce a Leucistic joey 25% of the time. The other joeys would be standard grey and be identified as 50% Leu het because they may or may not carry the recessive gene. There are only 3 initial leucistic glider lines. It is always best to check lineage when breeding any glider with leucistic genes to ensure the pair are not related any closer than 3 generations back in their ancestry. There is always a chance that two leucistic gliders will be related more closely and should not be paired for breeding.
