Mine did the same thing over a year ago. Like Blackroadie said....just push it back in. I haven't had a problem with it at all.

they´re pressed in.

press it back in, check for leaks, and if it doesn´t drip forget about it.

if you feel paranoia creeping, put a thin smear of J.B. weld on the brass tube 5mm back from where it goes in (NOT all along or near the end where it goes in), press it in and wipe off the excess.

I wouldn't use anything. I pushed mine in, gave a couple taps with a hammer and been fine for the past 3, 4yrs. even pulling the fuel line a good dozen times.

It recently happened to me too. Used a small dead blow mallet and tapped it back in. No runs, drips or fuel.
