I'm not sure I understand how the head gasket blocked the oil passage (flipped over ?), but I don't need to understand as long as you're now aware of the problem and make certain no part of the oil passage is blocked in the future.

To your point about air leaking out of a water pump bolt hole...
That shouldn't happen, but it does from time to time. They screwed-up, drilled too deep, and broke into the water jacket. Oops.
When you install the water pump, apply thread sealant on the bolt threads. That's "sealant", NOT thread locker. If use thread locker, you'll have a fight on your hands getting the bolt back out next time. If you don't use anything, then that bolt will be an ongoing coolant leak.
