There is a booth for tourist inquiry should be offer to offer this service. There are also many restaurants outside the Big Buddha, you can leave luggage there too. For valuable belongings, you'd better always keep them with you.

As for railway station, there is only one railway station called Leshan Station. If you coming by rail from Emneishan, you can get off there and also the same place you can take a train to Chengdu. There is luggage service at the service center near entrance.

The easiest way should be taxi. It would take you around 30min usually. Or you can take city bus like K11 or 605. By city bus, the duration would be around 50 to 60min.
