I think black might have a winning position after 16...Nh5.

This is so great that I thought it couldn't be true. But I can't refute it. Black can defend against the mate though I think if he gives some material back. What I'm posting is a series of seemingly forced moves (at least Black's moves are), and I'm not sure what happens after that.

[pgn] 1. e4 c5 2. Nf3 d6 3. d4 cxd4 4. Nxd4 Nf6 5. Nc3 g6 6. Be3 B hat happens next? Can White make use of his passed pawn to actually win the game?}[/pgn]
In the final position White has 2 extra pawns. Should be enough for win.

Could you elaborate? Black still has his rook, and I wouldn't know how to win this if I was white. I'm trying to improve my endgame knowledge so any tips would be appreciated. (Not sure if this is endgame already, but it's close.)

This is a kind of a position, that makes me stop by the table... 🙂
In my humble (and quick) opinion if Black play K ... h8 White can get away with perpetual by Qg5.
If Black play 1... Kh6, White must stick with perpetual because
Rg1 Rg8,
Qf4+ Kh7,
Qf5+ Kh8,
does not give a check-mate.

But if someone finds a forced win for White here, I would really be embarrassed 😳

My fault - took a quick glance at the position and having some beers inside of me, did not notice that White lacks Rook. 😳

I had planned against that with 17.gxh5 Rxf8 18.fxg6 fxg6 19.Rxh8+ Kxh8 20. Qh6+ Kg8 21.Qxg6+ and 22.Rh1+

ah yes. 21.f4 then and the attack is still on. I probably would have noticed this if the position arose but I missed it in my calculations.
