I am re-roofing and have covered the whole roof with 30# tar paper and
shingled one side of the house.
Yesterday we got a LOT of rain and I had 3-4 leaks on the side of the
house only covered in tar paper. 2 of them was pretty bad and left
big spots on the ceiling.
Should I worry about this and try and find where it was leaking or
will the shingles take care of the leaks when I get them up?

Don't worry. Tar paper is not roofing, it is a final moisture barrier
maybe, but it is not intended to provide protection from rain. That is what
the roofing does.
