Default is this suspse to happen

so once again im getting the case of fix one thing and another problem appears. so i fixed the tensioner pulley. and now the MAP sensor is acting up again. first of all when i rev it, it seems like its trying to pop off, i took off the sensor and looked in it. it looked like oil was in there or some brownish fluid, i think it was oil. and i got the code p0107 as well. this is not my day it seems

Not sure but I don't think it's supposed to do that... Take it off and check the mounting of it. Oil shouldn't be in there though that's for sure... Might need a new MAP sensor though

Ugh I jus replaced this one. I was also thinking about replacing the wires because every time I have it hooked on the scanner. And I touch the wires the readings go up and down. But will a bad sensor cause oil to form in there?

The cover for the PCV valve is not locked in position. That is why it moves when you accelerate. Not being secured is also creating a vacuum leak. In addition, the PCV valve is not properly seated (because the cover is not closed) which is allowing oil to escape.

Edit: ...and get that wiring fixed.
