Default strong gas smell + black around tailpipe- leaking fuel inj?

codes and messages:

P0159 lambda sensor aging downstream bank 2

P0174/P0175 additive adaptive mixture correction tra bank 2

P0174/P0175 mixture adaption factor fra bank 2

P0150/P0152 lambda sensor upstream catalyst bank 2

Physical signs - a pretty strong gas odor while idling, running rich. Rough idle. Mpg dropped from 10/15 to 8/12. Also a very black and thick ring of soot around the tailpipe edge.

This can't just be bad O2 sensors?? Mechanic guessing I've got leaking fuel injectors. Could it be anything else?
