Coolant Leak from EGR Tube, Please Help.



Its coming from the flange from the side, not the top. Its hard to take a picture from the side cause the crossover pipe is in the way. Rico's picture of the flange is exactly where the leak is, and its also coming from the cap right below it. For some reason yesterday, when I took apart so many time, the leak kept rotating from the Flange of the EGR hole, to the cap right below it. I haven't replaced the Throttle body gasket, honestly didn't even think about, thanks for suggesting that BillBoost37.
 
BillBoost37 you were correct it was my Throttle body gasket. I cant thank you enough for mentioning the Throttle body gasket, honeslty I would've never thought about that being the issue. I didn't know coolant was passed through that part, but being as to how its S/C it definately makes sense. Oh well still learning a bunch of stuff about this car. Heres the pictures of what it looked like when I removed the TB:

Looks like it was leaking into the charger as well as dripping downward.

I assume you cleaned the tb at the same time. You'll feel an improvement from doing it. Glad to throw a couple theories out there.

Chuck...guess we got lucky again.

Yea, it was sucking up and spraying down. That was one leaking TB gasket.

You're not lucky Bill, you're damn good.
 
Oh yes I cleaned out that TB very good, and the inner part of the Supercharger where the TB connects. Carbon and Dexcool sludge, man they rank right next to each for the nasty factor, lol. Its a good thing I came to this forum, you guys are pros, its better to talk to people who knows about the car from experience, and that has seen a thing or two from it. Man I'm just glad I didn't have to tear that engine down again, lol. It gets really old, very quick. Should the Supercharger be okay since it was sucking some Antifreeze into it?
