Is the missing o-ring a potential cause of the decreased sensitivity?

I am having sensitivity issues with one of my Sciex 3200 LCMS instruments. Upon inspection I notice that one of the o-rings is missing where the ion source meets the mass spec and that an audible hissing sound is heard from the gas leakage in the ion source.
