I was always given a 5 way shot at my regular vet and not lepto.
I did not notice this vet gave the lepto shot untill after I left and read the health record's.
I never even thought of telling this vet "no lepto" just asuming they all did not give this shot.
What could happin now? How big of an issue is this? Should I be worrying as much as I am.
What sign's do I look for?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I think the pups would have a reaction within 24 hours if they were going to have one.
Personally I don't like the vaccine cocktail, it seems like a lot for a little body to handle. I think its better if the vaccines can be done separately or at least in pairs but that might get expensive. I was lucky with one of my pups, the breeder was able to give individual vaccines at very little cost.

I would NEVER give a lepto shot. It's not only utterly useless, but responsible for more reactions than most of the others.
Here is a letter from a vet touching on common vaccines and their shortcomings, in his eyes:

My dog got the first lepto vax without a problem, but three weeks later when she got the booster, she had a horrible reaction(although the vet refuses to lay the blame on the vax).Stopped eating and drinking, lost 10% of her body weight, wouldn't get up and could hardly stand for long lengths of time. It took $4000 and a week in the ER to get her back on her feet. Three weeks later and she is still underweight and easily tired.
