It may not be all that bad. I wouldn't worry over it too much, but keep looking at your UOA numbers. Like Blackstone said 14 ppm lead isn't huge in the big picture, but you just want to watch for trends or an accelerating concentration of lead.
Blackstone did mention the possiblility of it being caused by WVO, if you're using that. I once had a smaller spike in lead that they attributed to a particle getting stuck in a journal and causing a "lead smear". I do know that you can run for a LOOOOOONG time with scored bearings without major issues.
