See the little blue hose? That is the oil cooler to EGR cooler hose. Sits just behind CAC tube.. Look down in there with a bright light.

Thanks.
I would be interested to see if they replaced the hose with an OEM or an after market one with hose clamps. I don't know enough about the new cooler and their system for the change.
It should be OEM, I have seen some systems that do use them.

BPD EGR cooler still basically OEM on the outside connection wise and uses the factory hose unless you put on the whole BPD system? Not much to leak on the passenger side-heater hoses and heater valve if it's a crewcab or block drain plug. Harder things are freeze plugs and block heater back in the starter area.
