Leave the PTFE tape on until you can get the tenon cork replaced - it all has to come off to have a new tenon cork fitted anyway, so bandage it up in the meantime so you can at least still play.
On plastic oboes or wooden ones with lined sockets, make sure the tenon cork is left fairly wide (but still sanded down to a barrel shape) as it will exert more outward pressure on the socket walls preventing the joints from coming undone.
On wooden instruments with unlined sockets, the tenon cork can be sanded down so the tenon goes 2/3rds the way on without any cork grease (but still feeling tight). The inside of the socket won't have such a smooth and perfect surface as a plastic or metal lined one, so will offer more grip to the tenon cork (but the tenon should still be a good fit in the socket even without the tenon cork).
