Default air leak

when you get an air leak on mfi and the car dont cut out what does it usually mean. i know it is supposed to but my last one didnt cut out and that ran fine and my new one has an oil seporator and the bottom pipe isnt connected and runs fine

In your case there is no air leak, as the metering head is not connected to the breather, which is a good thing.
