Yeah, he had quite a time of things. I don't recall seeing details one way or the other in regards to how the coolant made it in there.

Weight and just eliminating coolant intrusion was the main reason I went there. I think the guy in the link mentioned that he cut those connnectors off one of his many failed EGR coolers and welded up a pipe between them when he experimented with a cooler bypass. But I believe he had issues with wildly varying coolant temps when trying to run the bypass and went back to the EGR cooler. I haven't had any such coolant temp variation problems with the coolant bypass and EGR cooler delete.
