Bayern Munich's great run of form continued 0.
Goals from Thomas Muller and Daniel van Buyten in the first 20 minutes gave the hosts a comfortable lead, while Arjen Robben's late goal put the finishing touches on another impressive victory.
Bayern leads second-place Monchengladbach by two points at the top of the league, while Leverkusen suffered its second straight defeat.
Franck Ribery set up the opener after five minutes when he dashed into the penalty area and squared the ball to Muller for a simple finish from close range.
Van Buyten doubled the lead with a well-taken free kick from 25 yards that left goalkeeper Bernd Leno with no chance, while Leverkusen continued to struggle to get a hold of the match.
The second half saw Bayern continue to maintain control and Robben came off the bench to finish off the scoring in the final minutes.

Nurnberg's Javier Pinola brought down Marco Reus of Monchengladbach 15 minutes from time, allowing Daems to provide the decisive strike from the penalty spot.
Borussia Dortmund 2, Mainz 1
