Fix the glow plugs and stop the leak and you should be ok.

My other half drives this car, she's the type to fire up and go, drive it like you stole it. When it doesn't run, I catch it. A lot of the time, I'm gone before she leaves for work, so there's no way for me to start it for her.

And if you do find that your compression is a little low for the colder temp. quick starting, then you still can thin the fuel with kerosene or something else that will help the fuel flow better and ignite quicker. But if you found three bad glow plugs, I would bet that was your main problem. The fuel leak contributed as well.
