Will main seal leak affect boost?

I have a rear main seal leak that drips once every other second.. not a huge leak but bad enough. Just wondering if thats gonna affect building boost. I wouldnt imagine so being theres ventilation through the pcv system.

Will not effect boost, but will oil soak your clutch disc making it useless.

no, your seal leaking has nothing to do with building boost, unless you have some F-d up pistons.
