I think theres a lot of confusion in this thread (or maybe it's just me!)
The INLET part of the system (intercooler -> EGR valve -> inlet manifold) is fine with no leaks or way for anything to go in.
It's the exhaust part of the system (exhaust -> EGR "tube" -> EGR valve) which has the leak. If you get a leak you end up with a very sooty engine bay!
