Either way, try 'er and see!

Happens to all of us eventually.

Yeah you're right - any leak in the exhaust certainly has the potential to mess up fuel management. I didn't think about EGR foul-up but that's a possibility. The main O2 is in (just before??) the cat and the 2nd one is just after it, or at the back end of the cat. I'm pretty sure the job of 2nd O2 is to verify the final exhaust is clean enough.
