Check Engine Light...O2 Sensor?

So yesterday I was driving home from the market and my check engine light came on. Today I took it to a friend of mine to get it checked. He got an error: Bank 1 sensor not working. I did some research and it seems it's the O2 sensor either before or after the catalytic converter. Has anyone else had this problem? Anyone know where can I get an new O2 sensor? I really don't want to go to servco. I called them today and it would have cost me $100 bux for them to look to see what the error was. Yikes! Any help would be appreciated.

Troy,
Try checking various subaru classifieds. O2 sensors pop up for sale from time to time.

^ I believe it has a vf39, STi topmount, turboback at least. Your front 02 sensor probably just went bad, a good way to check it is to borrow a friends and change it out. If it goes away you need a new one.

the CEL code determines what sensor it could or couldn't be. There is a front oxygen sensor and a rear one. both do different things and have different codes for them. you also have a factory EGT sensor in your up pipe as well.
