A lean condition is too much air and not enough fuel The cause can be a fuel delivery problem,02 sensor,MAF sensor or a vacuum leak
A vacuum leak can cause a lean burn.
Give engine more fuel
Yes, A hole could cause the O2 sensor to see a lean condition and add excessive amounts of fuel. The excess fuel will damage the converter overtime and cause the code.
Running lean usually refers to a condition where insufficient fuel reaches the combustion chamber. A clogged fuel filter could cause this. Swap it out for a new one before you ruin your spark plugs or, even worse, a fuel pump. Also, vacuum leaks can cause this condition. Go ahead and change the fuel filter since they are cheap and you will need to soon enough anyway. But, I think a vacuum leak is a more probable cause. Mention your car and engine type for better answers.

It's lean. Referred to as lack of fuel. Either intake leaks, clogged injectors, old fuel filter, worn out 02 sensors, fuel pump/wiring or inadequate fuel system. Lots of things can cause this condition.
It's when there's a little less fuel for the amount of air than the ideal condition.
An engine runs too lean when there is an insufficient fuel-to-air ratio, meaning there is more air than fuel in the combustion chamber. This condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including a malfunctioning fuel injector, a clogged fuel filter, a vacuum leak, or a faulty mass airflow sensor. Additionally, issues with the fuel pump or a weak fuel pressure regulator can also lead to a lean condition. Running too lean can result in poor performance, overheating, and potential engine damage.
Floats control the amount of fuel in the carburator's bowls. The fuel level that is incorrect can cause an lean/rich condition.
An intake mixture of that is low on fuel signifies a "system to lean," condition causing your check engine light to come on. This is mechanical condition needing to be corrected because when lean predetonation - or engine damaging knocking can occur.
