Think of it like this: Not all clues are leads, but all leads are clues.
A "clue" is helpful information used to know more about a mystery.
"Start looking for clues."
"The police could not find any clues at the crime scene.
A "lead" is helpful information that may be used to resolve a mystery.
"The detective discovered a new lead while looking under the car."
"There were no leads for the missing children's case."
