Check your spark plugs to see whether or not you were running rich or lean. If rich, you'd see lots of black carbon deposits on it. If lean, you'd see white ash or maybe blistering.

You never said if you fixed that exhaust leak or not. If the leak was before the O2 sensor than you could be loosing oxygen content out of that hole so the O2 would think there was no need for more fuel and you would run lean.
What are some good places to get O2 sensors? My Dad's CRV has needed one for a long time. OEM Honda is $180, he will spend that but its like pulling teeth to get him to finally buy it.

I got them for $150 each front and rear. Denso I remember is OEM or close to it. So $150 is better then $200 for OEM.
I've been reading up and it seems like the O2 sensor in my case is what is casing the CEL. If this doesn't fix it then I'll have my mech look at it again and see if it maybe the MAP or fuel system.
