I just received my beer mail and unfortunately a few bottles had major leaks. Two are imperial stout bottles. I would say a quarter or third of the content leaked. The other one is a wild ale that had carbonation bubbles at the cap but no noticeable loss of beer after inspection. Should I keep the bottle as is or open it and drink it now?

If you're a homebrewer or otherwise have a bottle capper, try to tighten the cap back down. I've had success with that in the past. Although its probably beat to drink it now, if possible.
If liquid could get out, oxygen could get in. They may already be goners, but you should open them ASAP.
There is no benefit in waiting. If they were adversely affected, its only going to get worse over time. I guess it depends on what your plan was for those beers. Were you saving them for a specific event or a specific group to drink with, or just to drink in general? If you dont have plans, drink them soon.
Gotta drink them, time isn't your friend at all here. I don't always tape cap, but this shows why you should.
