ryan:

these leaks are downstream of the sensor and should not make a difference.

a good quality meter with high impedence is necessary. in general, AC will
be the choice, but you may want to experiment with DC as well. output will
be on the order of 1/2 volt, so that suggests picking a range up to at
least 2 volts.

the measurements are made with O2 sensor connector still connected, of
course (in other words, computer and meter are in parallel with each
other).
