Egr and CCV oil leak

[fahafiz]

Hi all
Just need some guidance. I noticed an oil leak from my egr valve and CCV (pic attached). What's the best way to fix this? And why is it happening?

Egr valve is leaking which requires replacement to get rid of leak but if it was me id just pressure wash the bay!

Both issues are not serious in any way shape or form!

Thanks for replying.
I've washed the engine bay and that has allowed me to source the leak. Is it normal for oil to go through the egr valve? I thought it was air only.

apparently the diesels do leak oil. Mine has been dripping oil from the intercooler

nice bumper ;-)

should there be oil in the intercooler?

so i should leave it?

 

[RaviR50]

Yeah I wouldn't be worried. Would be worth taking off the egr and giving it a clean though

 

[fahafiz]

I did do late last year. I don't think much can happen if I clean it again.

You need a new egr, the valve itself is leaking, there is nothing you can do but replace it or just clean it every now and again!

I personally would clean it rather than replace

 

[RaviR50]

Or just delete it probably get a cleaner air flow then

My friend has a spare egr. Might just purchase his. I may have damaged my egr when cleaning it.

The CCV also leaks oil. Should I replace with a catch can or leave as is?
