Is this more tell-tell of the o2 sensor issue, or could this be sign of some other major issue.

A fouled O2 can certainly cause an OX66 to start guzzling. Before you start swapping expensive parts, check the sensor 1st and also make sure things like the low pressure fuel pumps are 100%. A ruptured diaphragm in a LP pump can dump excessive fuel into the crankcase and ultimately foul sensor.
