In my part of the UK, "leery" means "aggressive, looking for a
fight".

That's probably only in your part of the UK, then. It seems most
everywhere else "leery" and "wary" are synonyms.

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/leery

(Notice that your meaning is there, denoted slang.)

"Wary", on the other hand, means "careful of, avoiding"
(as in "beware"). Either you meant "wary", or this is another
peculiarity of English (US) vs. English (British)!
