Default Running Rich???

My '96 GT seems to be running rich based occasional exhaust smoke and every once in a while I have the slight smell of gas inside the car. EGR valve?? I did have a 1443 code come up, which i believe is emission something or other.

No leaks in the exhaust and she seemed to be running fine, as no ticking noise
