Right im tryin to remove my intake manifold ( the six big silver pipes joing tb and engine) and i just found this large gold pipe coming into it at the rear, anyone know what it is/ if i can remove it without getting some kind of fluid all over me?

yep it fine, just take it off. its the EGR - exhaust gas recirculation pipe that connects to the headers.
btw be carefull when putting the bolts back in for it becuase the plenum aluminium is so soft...
