"I will be on leave" vs "I will be away"

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I will be on leave' is commonly used in a work or formal setting to indicate that someone will be absent from work due to approved leave. 'I will be away' is a more general phrase that can be used in various situations to indicate absence, not necessarily related to work.
