Exclamation Broken Sensor In Back Of Motor??????need Help

Okay, I have the manifold moved to check the map sensor and it looks fine. To double check though, The map sensor is the one located on the back of the manifold correct. It attaches directly to the back of it? That looks fine but I keep getting code P0107. Anyway, it gets worse, something else broke back there and I don't know what it is. It stands straight up and has a one pine sensor in it. So I am going to completely remove the manifold which I really didn't want to do cause I didn't purge the fuel line. Anyone have any idea what that is? It sits right behind the manifold and goes into the top of the block in the back. One pin sensor, it is a cyclinder that goes straight up and down.

Oil pressure sensor/sender. 50% of everyone who removes/installs their intake manifold breaks it. It's fairly cheap to replace!

First of all RELAX. We all break that sensor. It's the oil pressure sending unit

Any ideas on why I'm getting an MAP light as well? I beleive the code p0107 is low MAP voltage or something to that extent. I checked it and the connection was good and it seemed to be seated fine too. the other hoses that attach to the back of the manifold seemed to be on good as well.
