No, it won't. At least, not because of a helium leak. Starliner is currently holding ten times the amount of helium needed to safely deorbit the capsule. These new leaks aren't anything mision-endangering and are leaking hundreds of times slower than the one they detected beforehand that NASA still deemed acceptable to launch with.
