its not on the ground, and i had my egr vavle replaced last fall in october. all i know maybe if keeping running it hard, i can get a new motor from warranty.

the EGR cooler is a diff. animal from the valve.

Probably not a good idea, better off getting it fixed if possible, you won't get a NEW motor, it will be a REMAN. Just look at my sig to see how good the remans are...
Sounds like head gaskets or EGR COOLER.

coolant leak
It is most likely your egr cooler , for I was losing coolant also and could not see where it was going . Ask your dealer for a coolant dye for your reservoir and it will tell you sooner where your leak is coming from. That is how I found mine .
Hope this helps .

I had coolant leak earlier this winter. I would have a coolant flow dribbling down the driveway,but only on cold nights. If I parked out in the street (flat area)-no leak. Turned out to be the EGR cooler fitting located under turbn the incline of my driveway it would leak down the back of the block and down the starter motor. 4 days at dealership/ 1 loaner car ('06 Taurus POS)/ $100.00 deductable and we're all better now.
