Head bolts?

I had wetness in my egr valve so I went to pull the oil cooler and on my way I found the egr cooler was bone dry and the exhaust ports from the front of the engine were wet whele the back ports were dry. I assume this exhaust comes straight from the cylinders so my first thought is a head leak, most likely the bolts.

So you pulled the intake and the ports your looking at are the intake valves if they are wet your truck was probably nosed down

I don't quite understand the problem. Is the egr cooler dry both ends, or one end is wet? If so, pressure test it or replace it, no head issue.
