I personally wouldn't drive it until you get it fixed, crank/rod bearings don't appreciate fuel for lubricity and your tab for the fix is only going to go up if you kill the bearings.
what is a good oil pressure?

I have seen them so full the fuel is coming out of the crankcase vent on the front of the motor and as long as it hasn't been puring out of there for awhile its probly ok. one guy drove 75 miles of freeway slinging diesel under his rig. and another one was worse then that. if you drop the oil and fill it and then drive it ten miles it will be fine.
oops my bad I thought you meant drive it 10 miles it to where you get it fixed not ten miles a day for awhile.

Realistically you probably only have one or two leaking. If the funds are real tight you can tear the valve covers off then put it back together enough to run without the valve covers on. Hopefully your leak is bad enough you can see it at low pressures. If not unplug the fuel pressure regulator on the injector pump then run it again. That should default it to full rail pressure, then you'll definitely see your leaker. You can just replace the leakers and get by. It's a shit load of work to do and only replace one or two injectors but if the funds for all 8 aren't there the funds aren't there
