Narrative:
First officer and I were climbing out of the ZZZ airport en route. Near the end of the departure procedure we got a 'bleed air leak' light. I idented the issue and called for the QRH. First officer read the QRH; but seemed to have questions as to its conclusion. I then xferred the controls to first officer and ran the QRH myself and came to the same end as first officer had in that the 3 lights listed in the QRH were extinguished and that we had indeed completed the QRH procedures adequately. I explained to first officer that I needed to call dispatch and maintenance and that I was going to continue to have him fly. After making the necessary radio calls it was determined that we would return to ZZZ dispatch gave me new numbers and redispatched to ZZZ. ATC issued a new clearance and we were on our way back. We returned to ZZZ without further complication with first officer flying and me performing the PNF monitoring duties.
