Of course it adds hydrogens - that's the purpose of having pdb2gmx use the .hdb 
hydrogen database. If you actually have evidence of buggy or contradictory 
behaviour, please file a bugzilla so it can be fixed :-)

That was your problem, but it's not the only one that can happen :-)

That means pdb2gmx ignores the hydrogens present in the coordinate file, and 
generates all from the databases. That may or may not be a good idea in a given 
case.

They're always added back if pdb2gmx finishes without an error. Whether the 
resulting structure makes sense depends on what you've told pdb2gmx to try to 
do.

The original poster needs to provide their command line and GROMACS version 
before they can be given useful help. Before then, they should look at their 
LEU 2 residue and see what pdb2gmx might be complaining about.
