I know, silly question.
This is between the rear of the engine and the firewall. is this what someone called the O2 sensor?

If you have an exhaust that smells too rich it would indicate a bad O2 sensor. If you have have a sweet smelling exhaust, that'* a good indication of burning coolant, and likely intake gasket failure.

I know it'* a haul, but if the car can hold out until the Minnesota Meet in June come up to Mankato and I'll do the labor for free if Seth doesn't mind us doing it on his property. Your cost would be the gaskets, coolant, 2 oil filters and 10 quarts oil, and a can of TB cleaner, and the expense for the trip, and a lot of fun and laughter ...... and beer drinking.

PB Blaster.. let it soak a couple minutes... also helps if you exhaust is WARM to the touch, not HOT
also helps if you get an o2 sensor socket with a cutout for the wiring.. rent one at autozone

Yup, what Haro said. Keep in mind, that if you do have a coolant leak into the cylinders, your new O2 sensor won't last very long. Get only an AC/Delco, or Denso.
