boost leak

[99 gst spyder]

yesterday i did a boost leak.. couldn't get much into it, only 8 psi....still found two leaks. i'm guessing throttle body gasket and from j pipe to turbo....small leaks i think. but, when i drive it and when wot, it would hold boost solid 2nd 3rd and 4th gear which is set at 14-15 psi . havn't tried first and fifth though.. think it could be a big problem? i'm i loosing power from that?

Yes, it will be a problem, it's a small leak but it will affect your car's performance.

Yes, any leak is going to hinder performance.
