What sort of leaks?

And yes it can, if excessive exhaust gas is leaking then the pressure and voloctiy in the exhaust system will be affected, this will affect scavenging.

yes it could, being that close to the front o2 can affect the true reading and make the copmuter add more fuel . keep in mind itd have to be a decent leak though
