Detailed Solution

Let Q0 be the initial charge on the capacitor and  V0 its initial potential. Let A be the area of the plates and  be the distance between them.
Capacitance C of the capacitor is C=0A
Resistance of the capacitor is R=ρℓA=ρkε0C
If q be the charge at time t, then the leakage current 
i is  i=dqdt=VR where V is the volt age across the capacitor at time t. But q = CV
Hence i=dqdt=CdVdt=VR
Hence dVV=1CRdtThe minus sign is because dV is negative.
Integrating between limits, V=V0exptCR
Hence , i=VR=V0RexptCR
