How does my EGR look?
So today I pulled and cleaned my EGR valve, I had it parked overnight pointing slightly nose down, but not much (driveway) and I did notice some moisture in the intake, it was kind gooey, oily in there, not dry. Any input would be appreciated.
EGR
Inside the intake port (hard to get a good pic in there).
Crud on the Degass bottle and cap, I dont recall it ever spewing coolant, but it is clear something is going on.
ERG cleaned and ready to go back in.

No more warranty... 
Being in California there is a limit on what I can do with us now having to smog check our diesels now. Not sure what I can do with the CCV and still pass smog.
Code:
The moisture is also caused by the CCV

You can do a CCV Reroute by adding a Racor CCV6000- or CCV4500. You will still pass smog check. Just keeping the oil out of your turbo and into the Racor filter.

You should not be getting that kind of oil slick from the CCV. I ain't buying that.
Your valve looks not that bad, and the soot looks dry. But the wet look down in the port makes me nervous. But it is hard to tell from a photo. I think you are in for EGR cooler problems in the not too distant future, and time will tell. Or, if you want to be proactive you can have it leak tested.
BTW, the crud on the degas cap supports my theory.

Like most good threads...this one gets long winded; but there is allot of good information in the first page or so.

I'd put allot thought into running with the EGR unplugged. Even if you block or delete the cooler...the PCM needs to be able to talk to the EGR.
