Hi and

to the club.
Before you rush to buy a EGR bypass, the valve does not have an oil supply, so replacing the valve will not cure your problem I'm afraid.
Where is the oil coming from?
There is always a certain amount of oil in the inlet tract and this "burns on" to the inside of the valve due to the exhaust gasses that the valve lets into the manifold. This is why they need cleaning as the build up of deposits can restrict the opening.
Egr bypass valves can be bought on e-bay from wingy777 £49.99 IIRC
