So I got a new female 4 week old guinea pig today. And I had a water bottle all ready for her but than it started leaking bad. So is it safe to leave a secure water bowl in for her? like would I have to worry about her not drinking? I do have a water bottle coming in 5 days but untill than is it safe to leave in a water bowl?
 
A bowl is okay. Just bear in mind it may be tipped over or they could poo in it.

You could also try filling the bottle to the brim to stop it leaking.
 
To add, be sure you replace the water at least once a day and check on it often to make sure it hasn't gotten dirty. :)
 
You can also leave some cucumbers or lettuce if you're worried about her getting dehydrated.
 
I have the worst luck with water bottles and leaking so I feel your pain. They do have bowls that fasten to the sides of the cage if your guinea pig is tall enough to drink from one. Just be sure to check it frequently to make sure the water is clean! I’ve found glass water bottles leak less than plastic ones.
