I would have put a new gasket in there while you had the bolts out. If they were leaking long enough you probably burnt the gasket out. Get a new one. I have seen alot of people put high temp gasket on as well. Just a very light coat.

Check all the hoses coming from the AIR pump. Maybe one of those is leaking. That would cause the piff, piff near that area.

Another sure way to find it is to get a piece of hose (garden or heater works well) about 3 feet long. Put one end to your ear and go around all the places that the exhaust bolts together. You'll notice the leak when you find it.
