Somewhat loose map sensor holder?

[SteveCZ28]

I have a vacuum leak on my car, and had a map sensor low input signal. basically meaning i had a intake leak somewhere. i believe it is atributed to the crushed intkae gasket i have. but also my map sensor block (the block that the map sensor, brake master cylinder hose and hvac hoses attach to) is somewhat loose. it just kinda rattles in the intake. could this actually develop a leak enough for the map sensor to sense it?

yes.I used black rtv silicone to glue it down.ran a bead in the gap between the map sensor and the intake.

ok, i just went ahead and rtv'd the whole thing. figured it cant hurt

That's how myself and many others did it with the FAST intakes.

it still wiggles a bit, but its sealed really good.
