I had a question about the reliability of using two leaky coax antenna's to receive a stronger signal even if one of the antenna's is below ground or in a sewer for example? Would there be a way to receive a signal above ground to one antenna or a wireless cable and one be underground or in a tunnel for argument sake?
Could you provide a bit more information such as the frequency and modulation method of the signal.
What advantage to you wish to gain by using a leaky coax on receive? This is used for transmitting in tunnels and applications where the field strength at a distance needs to be limited.
You mentioned using two for receive. Do you have in mind some sort of diversity reception?
Using leaky coax for receive does not impress me as a very good idea but perhaps I am missing something.

This was a project I was working on for a remote controlled toy car. Someone suggested perhaps using leaky coax antenna, but it was just a thought. Would there be a better way to get stronger and longer signals for this using antennas, even if it went in a sewer or tunnel where transmissions might get blocked? Or is there another way to accomplish this?
You can achieve extended range for control of model cars and aircraft if you have a ham license. If so, you are allowed to use higher power on quieter bands than is possible with normal R/C.
I don't recall the specifics, but you might want to check into this. You can now get a ham ticket without code.
