leak below egr

I recently replaced the gaskets at my valve covers and efi ina 351w 89 Ford after doing this i have a leak at what appears to be the pipe protruding from the bottom of the EGR is this possibble. It smells like coolant. If I happened to rupture this pipe is it easy to replace it at autozone parts or other parts store.

where does the pipe go to, manifold? Or is it a coolant line?

this is a metal pipe that runs to the exhaust manifold. It is covered with braided fabric but im sure there is a metal line inside.

On my 88 351 there is a small coolant line that runs to the top front passenger side of the throttle body. It's possible that is leaking or maybe there is a crack that is allowing that coolant down the EGR pipe?
