Hey guys. '07 STX 3.0L V6 MT. Only 49000 KMs (~30k miles. Yea its low.)

CEL came on a couple days ago, began blinking at me shortly after. Truck has a bit of a shudder at idle and low rpms, slight loss in power but not hugely significant. Exhaust fumes appear to pulse out (think blowing smoke rings) rather than flow freely. Pulled a P0134 code - bad bank 1 o2 sensor. Ok, easy enough right?

Problem is I wont have a chance to get to it for at least a couple days, longer if the part needs to be ordered. I have plenty of places to go over the next few days with it being Xmas and all. Nothing should be longer than a 30 minute trip each way. Think its safe to drive it in the short term? Or am i destined to ride the bus? I'd rather not melt my cat converter...

Futhermore, found an oil leak right by the coil pack. No oil whatsoever below. Seems like a pretty strange spot for a leak to me and has me wondering if that might be partially to blame for the missing as well. Terrible picture but you get the idea. Any thoughts? I know how to turn a wrench and look stuff up on google but am not overly mech-savvy otherwise, so small words are best. ;)



First time poster... nice little site you guys have here. Cheers
