Besides the leak and a CEL, the car is fine to drive.

I just bought one for my car (97 Accord) for $76. Perfect fit,,, came with wire harness,,, connector,,,, little tube of anti seize,,,,,,,, it was great !!!! Car runs better too,

Sure beat the $225 quotes I got from about 3 auto parts stores. Also took only 1 week to get here.

Actually I bought one from these guys at oxygensensors.com. This thing is crap!!! Mind you this is a universal sensor so I had to cut solder and shrink wrap the wires onto the original plug. When I installed it, I had the crappiet reading on my Autometer A/F gauge ever--granted its not the best gauge to begin with. Under full throttle EVERY LED from rich to the beginning of Stoich would light up!!! Above that, its already going bad. I have only had the thing in my car for about 3K miles. Also my car is definetly tuned right, not running rich or anything (that'll destroy O2 sensors). I am about the either purchase a Bosch sensor, or even shell out the money for an OEM one. I WOULD NOT SUGGEST THAT YOU BUY ONE FROM THAT WEBSITE!!!
Ok, thats my .02
