Egr Valve

[Charlie]

Has anyone had problems with oil leaking from a weep hole in the front side of what i believe to be the EGR Valve, Its located on the back side of the engine behind the oil filler cap, in the pipe that runs up from the intercooler on the right (looking from the front).

 

I've removed the intercooler pipes to see if there was any build up of oil at the low point but there is only a light covering on the inside of the pipes which is normal.

 

The car has covered 67,000 miles and is starting and running very well without excessive amounts of smoke even under load (Towing)

 

2003 1.9 TDI PD 115

 

The oil has soaked into the lump of sponge around the head and has run down the back of the engine just reaching the under tray

 

An independant garage has told me to look at the seals in the EGR valve as the car is running well and not smoking so would not suspect the turbo seals.

Can the EGR Valve Seals be changed or is it a new unit?

I only show one round seal 'O'ring and four gaskets in the pipe work/heat exchanger set up? as for replacement parts in the ERG valve? I only show it available as a one piece item?

Yep I've had the same problem before and it's back again!

 

Last time FORD changed the valve under warranty (would have cost

The problem is still there! I removed the form soundproofing from around the engine, cleaned all around the area and then packed a piece if white rag next to the egr valve hole.

There is only a very small amount of oil coming out of the hole, it just looks worse when left to drip. So due to cost I haven't done anything.

 

I was told the valve is not serviceable so not looked into removing and repairing
