Default Will oil pressure sensor leak if the plastic body is broken off... LS6 intake install

The braake booster hose must have been on the wrong side of the oil pressure sensor <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" />
It broke off cleanly at the base where the plastic meets the metal <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Can I run it this way until I get another sensor <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
Anyone break it too & was able to use your car <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Depending on where it broke, you will most likely be OK. When Justin (Jsears8) and I installed his LS6 intake back in the summer, we broke his off as well. He drove the car around for a few days before fixing it. We even dynoed the car the next day w/ the oil pressure gauge reading 0 psi.

As long as the base is screwed into the block, you'll be fine. I rode around with mine broken for almost a month before I got up off my lazy *** and fixed it

I too may have to ride around with the busted
sensor, as NO one has any in stock <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />
If it doesn't leak, ok.
Hate to pull the intake again & again <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />
