Hi, I have an ex BT 2015 ducato with 59k on it. I've noticed it weeps a little oil down the bracket for the coolant pipe which is bolted to the intake manifold. I'm guessing as it's sat idling for hours on end in its former life, the seals will be crispy and there will be a fair but of oil weeped past the thrower rings in the turbo into the intake pipes. I've got replacement gaskets for the intake and a new boost pipe to the throttle valve coming Saturday as its very dry and a little cracked on the surface. I also have to replace the little coolant flange that feeds the EGR cooler from the block as that has pink crusty stains and when it's bloody freezing out, there are a few drips of coolant drop off the bottom of the gearbox. Has anyone any advice on removing the front to gain access to the manifold or tips on getting the EGR cooler off without stripping the valve and rear pipes off too?
