Egr cooler probably split. Been there, done that on my 04. Any steam visible out the tailpipe when driving, or just when sitting? Mine didn't drip at tailpipe. Is she running hot? If Blackstone shows no coolant in oil its probably the egr cooler. Might be worth deleting the egr and the cooler and be done with it if thats the case. Good luck.

no running hot issue (s) as i can tell

no 'visible' steam out pipe - only dripping out at sitting 'idle'

blue smoke issue is back - did i mention that??? and it stinks

checked degas tank - no 'strange/odd' smells and no noticable loss of fluid & no noticable crust/crud as before

blackstone mentions nothing of the sort

could be the cooler, could be the egr gummed up..it's been about 30k miles on the egr since the h.g.

i have been stating lately that i am gonna pull it, clean it and forget to plug it back in...as i did fuel up last nite (at $2.17 by the way) and it has sat all nite (cold). i did how ever want to run it to get it warm, (i have a sloped driveway) back it up ramps and pull egr and see if any coolant is visible down in their...

but deleting the egr/cooler costs $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ i don't have right now:lmao
