The hosts went ahead with Patrick Bamford (35) to pop up with his ninth goal of the season after Jeff Hendrick (26) had tucked in against the run of play.
Newcastle saw a strong penalty shout for Callum Wilson waved away not long before Rodrigo glanced in Jack Harrison's fine cross (61) to put Leeds in charge - but once again Marcelo Bielsa's side were undone from a set-piece, with Ciaran Clark heading in a corner (65).
Leeds weren't to be denied their deserved victory, though, and Stuart Dallas (77) and Ezgjan Alioski (85) finished clinically before the impressive Harrison blasted in from the edge of the box to wrap up the three points in style.
The result sees Leeds remain in 14th but move level with 13th-placed Newcastle - who have a game in hand - on 17 points.
