Can ACV leak boost?

Can a faulty acv/gasket vent boost or is it air pump air only. Can it leak fuel/air mixture?

Neither will leak boost or air/fuel mixtures.

It can leak exhaust gasses into your engine bay, but it's HIGHLY unlikely. In order for this to happen either your main catalytic converter check valve or your exhaust port check valve must be bad and you must have a leaky ACV gasket.
