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?

A trick I use and highly recommend is to fill the fuel tank to the top, my drive slopes down so I start with the car level in the garage and after replacing the fuel filter and/or fuel lines I roll it down the driveway and start with the nose down and tank high. Yes have a fully charged battery.
The intake manifold comes off and goes on real easy and the gasket is cheap, you will not believe the gunk built up in there.
Heard more bad than good things about having the car remapped, usually causes some driving anomalies or quirks if you prefer.
