UIImageView setImage: never leaks, unless the image you are passing doesn't get released.

Your code wont leak, if your are assigning an autoreleased image to the image view, something like the following.

UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageNamed:@"sampleImage"];
[yourImageView setImage:newImage];

But, if you are allocating the image somewhere, you have to release it manually.
