Default Should I be real worried about this crack?

Took the intake off to check the knock sensors. I guess there was some debris or somthing down in the hole in the intake hole. I torqued them down to the right specs and all but I just noticed today.

Should I be real worried about the front driverside intake bolt? I have be driving with it like that for a few weeks and I just noticed.

Will I be ok or what should I do?
