My 15 yr. old Siberian Husky has recently starting leaking urine and has also been frequently urinating in the house.

Anything I can do?

start with having a urine sample checked by your vet to rule out a urinary tract infection. bloodwork would also be appropriate to rule out stuff like kidney problems.

there are medications that will help with leaking, but you need to make sure there's not an underlying disease that's causing it first.

In an dog that age I would definitely go for blood tests to make sure there are no kidney issues going on.

Also is the dog showing any increased thirst?

Good luck at the vet. I agree that it sounds a lot like kidney issues. Not really surprising at that age, but still. :(
