EGR vs EGR delete

Hey y'all I have a coolant leak coming from my EGR coolant line I was wondering about it and I have two options I could just replace the line or buy the EGR delete kit for it I don't know too much about the delete but I wanted to ask y'all before I do anything

Its one of those deals where it comes down on how much you want to spend and if you can do it yourself. If time and money is a factor and all your vital signs look good, replace the hose. If you have the time and money, go for a delete or a bulletproof egr cooler, and while you are in there I would HIGHLY recomend a new oil cooler and a few other misc items so you wont have to go back into her. But all this could get into the $500-$1000 range depending on which route you go and if you do it yourself.

Coolant filter, Oil, EGR cooler (I would go OEM Ford), and also clean carbon, diagnose root cause of issue.

Is EGR valve working properly?

Is it just the little 2" long hose piece that connects the cooler to the intake coolant lines? That piece is replaceable and pretty cheap.
