Anyway we left the beer to condition for 4 weeks and no carbonationation had taken place (due to leak). Can we re-prime the beer to get it carbonated (is the yeast spent now???) or is there an alternative method we can use to fizz this baby up?

Did you use vaseline on the o ring? It should give a better seal. If the keg is leaking there isn't much point in trying to recarbonate. To test if the keg is leaking try submerging the keg in water and inject some gas if its leaking you will at least find out where it is leaking from and you will know what needs to be adjusted/replaced.
