iGoop around intake manifold 900

I need some brick board help. I think this is relatively easy.

Back story:

My 95 turbo wagon, which has always run well showed a check engine light and then a few days later started running very badly. Almost like misfiring. The engine code said oxygen sensor and something about the catalytic converter.

I went to brickboard and read that there are three sensors in the block, running laterally from front to back. I removed the intake manifold and with great difficuly took out the front sensor and the middle sensor. At the time I knew the name for each of these, but I've forgotten. That would help me.

I replaced both. The clip from the middle one was in good condition and I just attached it. Looks like some money had fiddled with the front attachment. There was no clip but a couple connectors added to the wires that fit sort of on the two posts in the new sensor. I figured maybe that would be OK, but I should have replaced the clip, because now one of the wires has detached from the small socket that was jury rigged to the wire.

First question. Would someone be able to tell me how to order the clip. With the sensor in the block it is now inconvenient to take the sensor to the auto parts store to check for a sensor and I am quite sure the clip for the forward sensor is different from the middle one. Thus, they are unique for good reason.

Boy is the area under the intake manifold hard to navigate. So much going on.

Next issue. After I put the manifold back together, I notices a long thin, probably 1/8 rubber hose hanging down almost touching the ground toward near the right front wheel. After some fumbling around and jacking the car up (most likely unnecessarily, I found that the connected end was the top port of the white metal component just to the left of the code reader. I have a photo and if I can figure out how to attach it, it should be easy to identify. The device has two ports with identically sized hoses. The one that is detached is about 3 feet long and its very soft flexible rubber. That is the upper hose. The one that is not detached runs under the intake manifold passed the three block sensors and attaches to something almost impossible to see. I can only tell by feel that it is attache.

So, I need to know what the smaller than a first device is with the two hoses coming out of it, is called and where the upper hose attaches.

The area under the intake manifold has been flooded with oil for years. I've never been able to figure out what is going on. The leak is slight, but its there and there is oil everywhere. I wonder if it could be that the detached hose produces oil for some kind of analysis in the device it attaches to????
