MAP sensor leak

So, I started the following thread a while back:

https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...eak-stuff.html

I recently finally replaced the leaking MAP sensor, but am having the exact same leak issue with the new one. It really seems like a crappy design by Porsche. Anyone have any cure for this???
