Default Leak from Header?

I just got my headers and true dual setup installed!!! I got it back today and i'm hearing a ticking noise coming from the drivers side header in the rear. I know this is a leak, and I figure that one of the bolts back there is probably loose, so i'm taking it back to my guy probably tomorrow to get them all tightened and hopefully it goes away! But my question is, can having a small leak cause harm to the engine if you get on it? I know it'll affect performance, but I just don't want it to harm my engine, cuz I couldn't help but get on it a bunch today after picking it up!!!!!! It's sounds so awesome!!!!!!!
