I have been playing around with templates and formats, and i have somehow managed to turn on a leader linking ordinate dimensions... how might one turn this off?

Sounds like you have activated the ISO standard which uses the ugly 'chained' style of ordinate dimensions.
You may have to the ANSI standard.

I wanted to get rid of it too and couldn't find a way. I ended up writing a macro and assigned to a key and with a hit of that key I removed it in the active drawing.
 
On 2007 you can double click the 0 dimension and properties will pop up and then untick the chained dimension box.
2008 it seems to have disappeared as an option so I am looking for a way again. A single key it macro would be very good Can you share it
 
The option is still there in 2008.

Re-select the ordinate dim (LMB or RMB) the dim properties appears on left of screen with tabs at top Value>Leader>Other.

Click Leader tab and you will see the option to uncheck the box against ordinate chain.
