I have on 06 f250 with the 6.0 137000 mi had head studs and gaskets replaced last summer along with egr delete and oil cooler replacement the truck has been running great, I noticed staturday a coolant leak when I looked in to it and thought it was the oring on the metal heater hose by the alternator I replaced that Saturday that leak has stopped but I noticed this morning anther leak the water drips off the back of the passenger side head gasket I can see we on the front of the motor looks to be coming from under the intake any ideas?

There is a rubber donut style oring under the from side of the intake that routes coolant from the EGR back to the water pump IFRC. I had one leak once and it showed from the front and back of the engine passenger side. I would double check your intake mount bolts to ensure they are tight. its a start.

I think I narrowed it down to the little hose between the oil cooler and egr cooler I got the 2 torx screws out and the lid came off the oil cooler but I cant seem to get the rest of it apart any ideas????

Ok, here's a thread with some pictures. That's what I was after as it's kinda hard to describe. The older hose was orange and changed to blue.

On edit: Apparently, the thread above is in the Tech folder somewhere lol. I shoulda thought of looking there first.

Can you take a picture and post it? You said you have an EGR delete in your original post, now you're talking about the hose going to the egr cooler. This confuses us internet folk.
