Default MAP sensor?

when i pulled off my intake yesterday i didn't damgae my oil sending unit thank God!!! but my map sensor was yanked out as i pull the intake forward, the sensor itself was not damaged but the rubber nipple was though, the closest lip to the tip of the sensor . . . the sensor goes back in but it wiggles a bit my question is how much of a problem might this cause?

I guarantee you will have a vacuum leak. Hell you get vacuum leaks when the rubber is in excellent condition. All you need to do is get some silicone all around the area on the manifold where the sensor plugs into. its that easy.

got it together and i've got a vacuum leak lol i'll pull it off next week and do the silicone on it since the sensor is perfectly fine. not that bad of a vacuum leak thankfully but still kind of annoying lol
