Refrigerant floodback could cause it from being over charged. Other things that could cause it are a lack of lubrication from an oil leak, contamination, electrical problems, or overheating from low or no coolant.

Could a brake booster that is leaking air cause the air pump compressor to go bad?

I am assuming you are referring to a spring brake assembly on air equipped vehicles. If this is the case, normally a leaking chamber would not cause an air compressor to go bad. Some causes for air compressors not to build pressure are: defective air governor, restricted air intake and discharge hose (hose from compressor to air dryer or air tank), bad check valve at dryer or tank, leaking discharge hose (mainly the cloth covered-Aeroquip-spray soapy water at hose with engine running, if it bubbles hose is leaking thru the cover), unloader valve at compressor and some other. The ones I mentiond here are probably the most common.
