I'm not sure if setting negative priority really solves the dns leaks problem because I'm on 17.10 and I do have dns leaks. If I'm connected to my ISP over a LTE network and the connection is unstable then it could happen that DNS queries will be sent over my ISP network and not over my VPN connection. The only solution that works for me currently is
sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service
sudo service systemd-resolved stop

Put the following line in the [main] section of your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf:
dns=default

Delete the symlink /etc/resolv.conf
rm /etc/resolv.conf

Restart network-manager
sudo service network-manager restart

Caution! Be aware that disabling systemd-resolvd might break name resolution in VPN for some users - according to the original thread https://askubuntu.com/questions/907246/how-to-disable-systemd-resolved-in-ubuntu
