O2 Sensors, 0303, and location

Today my CEL came on which is great because my car has been running like crap and I have been searching for a reason why. The code was 0303 which I found the information for in the stickies. Can anyone give me a better idea of where to locate it under the car before I tackle this job in the dark tonight.

0303
Diagnostic Trouble Code 0303 indicates a problem with the front Oxygen Sensor on the left cylinder bank. The left bank is also called the front bank. It is cylinders 2,4,6. A normal signal sweeps back and forth between 0.2 volts and 0.8 volts. This malfunction was detected when the Engine Control Module received a signal from the sensor which was a constant value of approximately 0.3 volts.

Possible causes include ...
- Harness or connectors (the sensor circuit is open or shorted).
- Defective Oxygen Sensor

Front O2 sensor or the one causing your cel is the one closest to the radiator. You are lucky the rear O2 sensor near the firewall is a bi*ch to replace.
