O2 sensor update... and water question!

Winning feels good. I had been fighting with this on + off for a couple weeks now.
Just wanted to thank all of you who gave advice... In the end (after lots of torching, sawing, hammering, and long pipe extensions all in situ), I dropped the exhaust, sawed the downpipe in half near the cat (100% welded exhaust) and drilled out the sensor up to 1/2", ran out of bits so jigsawed 3 cuts (good tip Saabnutt), clamped in a vice + pop! success! I have a tap for an o2 sensor thread + was amazed how hard it was to run that through... there was a lot of corrosion! No wonder it was hard to get off! I hate doing exhaust work, so I avoid cutting + assembling exhaust like the plague, but I never would have got this done otherwise (thanks for setting me straight!)...
ok. question. sitting on ramps in the rain for 2 weeks. huge stream of rusty water poured out of the front drain hole in the sill behind the fender when I backed off the ramps. is that normal to expect with the car leaning back on a slope? or should I be tracking down a major leak and/or clog somewhere? water ran out for *minutes*... I was emptying a lake!
