Thinking of the intake manifold....the entire drivers side of the engine and intake piping is covered with oil & nastyness. I presume this is coming from the EGR or some other way out of the intake? I assume this is common, so maybe somebody can point me in the right direction there?

you did things the hard way for no reason. everyone around here will tell you penetrating oil and a ratchet and hope for the best. the way that has a 100% guarantee is using an impact gun between 30-40 psi with a fully heated up engine and they will come out (all 6) within 45 minutes. i've done it 3 times and walked a member through the process who vouches for my technique.
