1.3liter_of_power

It all started out when i put on my header, and a stud broke and would not come out for notting, ended up drilling it out and replaced it with a bolt, it was the stud close's to the oil pump, this bolt came lose, and I drove around with a bad exhaust leak for about a week. When I went to tighten up the bolt, I notice alot of oil leaking from the oil pump, that was not there before, could of some way the hot exhaust gases dry up the gasket or some thing to make it start to leak??? I think the oil pump is working,because I get 50psi of oil pressure at 3000rpm, or should i be getting 60psi of oil pressure??? Any help would be appreciated..
