Broken Oil Pressure Sender

i broke the oil pressure sender installing an LS6 intake and was wondering if it will mess anything up if i drive with it broken. also how hard is it to change out with the intake still installed?

You need to replace it, eventually it will split even more and spray oil all over the place. Take the intake off to replace it.

You shouldn't need to take the intake off to replace it - I'd pick up a new sensor and socket at your local parts store and give that a try first.

PITA to get your hand and tool back there with the intake in place, id take the intake off since its easy to take off, that way you have room to work with. I hate tearing ym hand up back there.
