EGR coolers can be prone to blockages or leaks over time on many diesel engines. Smoke coming from the exhaust, coolant loss, a stuck EGR valve, or an illuminated check engine light are common signs that the EGR Cooler may be failing (CEL). Because the EGR cooler connects your engine's exhaust and cooling systems, malfunctions inside the cooler may cause coolant loss, overheating, and even engine damage. The first sign of failure looks like white exhaust smoke but is steam from boiling coolant. The coolant passageways inside the cooler can start to leak if the EGR cooler has cracked or broken. Then, before being forced out of the tailpipe, it is heated either directly by the exhaust or within the combustion chamber. You might notice that there is less coolant in your overflow container as with any coolant leak.

If you need to top off your cooling system frequently but don't see any drops or patches on the ground, the coolant could be dripping out of the exhaust. The truck's EGR valve needs to be checked as well. Due to carbon buildup, it will likely be black. The coolant may combine with this carbon if it is entering the EGR system. It is possible for small volumes of coolant to combine with this carbon and produce a sticky buildup. In some circumstances, there might be sufficient coolant flowing through to remove the carbon. The valve now has the appearance of having undergone steam cleaning. The main purpose of an EGR cooler is to reduce the exhaust gas temperature prior to it is recirculation into the engine’s intake.
