After Dropping in some of that new extended life oil in my truck (modil 1 syn) I notice some strange noises up front. To find out that I have a rusted leak on the EGR tube. Is this a problem that needs immidiate attention?

Does $47 for a piece of metal tube sound right?

I have also notice that every few months (maybe about 6) I have to add antifreeze to the resovoir. Where can I look to find if there is a leak (I have checked all the hoses)? Btw I on accasion will smell coolant but have never seen it on anything.

The truck never over heat nor does the gauge varies.
 






If the EGR leak gets bad enough, you will lose performance.
 






Will entually throw the CEL?
Can I patch it with something?
$60+ for a piece of tube sounds steep.
