What are the ICPV's at KOEO? Also how long ago has it been since the EGR valve was pulled and cleaned. Is it throwing any codes?

I use carb cleaner, just be sure not to get it in the top ( electrical ) side of the valve and make sure you lube the orings with oil before you reinstall it.

Update........ aside from my now apparent egr delete leaking, I am also missing my oil fill cap ( not sure how long i have been driving without it, or what happened to it. I am also not registering any oil pressure while cranking. Oil level is good on the dipstick, but im thinkink that debris may have contaminated the oil and is causing the lack of oil pressure...... aside from the obvious ( changing oil and filter) what else can i do if dust or debris has enterd the oil.

My spread has been creeping up over the last couple of years and a new oil cooler has been on my list....... i didn't think this was as big of an issue if the egr cooler was deleted.

If your egr cooler is deleted you don't have a wet egr from coolant. It can be gooey sticky and not be from coolant entering the system. Unless someone did a stealth delete and it failed.
