Answer

Why is my retaining wall leaning?

Water pressure behind it or a failed footing; a warning sign to act on.

In short

A leaning retaining wall almost always means water pressure or a failed footing: without proper drainage behind it, water builds up and pushes the wall out, or the foundation has moved. It is a warning sign worth acting on. The fix is to rebuild it with the right footing and drainage behind.
