Thanks, After looking around some more i notice a small tear in the hose that comes off the head and goes to the pcv valve and air intake housing. Some oil looking fluid has leaked out, I wiped it down and after driving around checked again and more had leaked out. Possibility?

Other possibilities are;
vacuum leaks
ignition missfires
Cat conv. not warmed up
dirty, clogged injectors
bad gas

EGR system has nothing to do with HC, only Nox.
