Or an EGR cooler, or just a bad cap. Replace the cap, and put a pressure gauge on the degas bottle, or pressure test the EGR cooler.

Pull the turbo, maybe the FICM and some odd ends and it comes out in two pieces. I'd say difficultly depends mostly on how rusted everything is and how fast you can swap a turbo, but it's nothing a DIY can't handle. Aligning it and getting rid of leaks after can be a PITA.
It's in the TSB. Either block it off and put it in a tank of water, or pull a vacuum on the cooling system and see if it leaks down. But there's always the crowd pleaser options of replace with BPD cooler or just straight up delete it.

Just slide the bottle fwd in the mount and look behind it for signs of crack or leaking on the back and bottom especially along the parting line in the plastic. Sort of a long shot but I would look at it before buying anything or pulling anything major apart.

Was your leaking pipe making any noise?

Have you put a pressure gauge on the cooling system?

That will solidify the symptom. But Make sure when you attach the gauge it is run outside of the cab, or you have a means to isolate the system pressure from venting should there be a failure of tubing. You don't want 16PSI+ coolant/vapor blowing into your cab!

Place it in-line between the radiator and bottle in the 3/8" line.
I got mine at the zone for 5.99 + hose and clamps $12 total.

Actually since I have a coolant filter, can I just use that cut, then hook the filter back up when finished?
