Default Green liquid leaking from EGR valve
I checked my engine today after putting fuel system cleaner and noticed that I have some kind of green liquid oozing from the EGR valve. Anyone know what this is and how to fix it?

That "green" stuff is most likely antifreeze/coolant. The EGR valve has coolant lines that run through it. Coolant shouldn't be leaking out, if that was my car, I'd replace the EGR valve just to be safe.

Thanks SC400slide. Looks like imma hit up the junk yards and see if anyone is parting out their car. These are very expensive if u want a new one

Since the EGR brand new is expensive. Would another EGR from an older SC work on my 95 sc4?
