    Just had a rebuild done on my x15, sounds like I have exhaust leak. Sprayed it down and the cooler a has a crack at Seam on top and bottom. What y’all suggest?

    Everything I've read about a cracked EGR. The only solution is to replace it.

    So basically I’m wondering if the egr cooler being cracked at the seams is just an exhaust leak in that spot of the cooler? I don’t notice any other issues from it as of yet.

    Take it to a radiator shop and ask to have cleaned and pressure tested.
    IF it was mine and it already had a crack. Wouldn't matter to me if it was exhaust or coolant. A crack means the cooler is fatigued
    and the whole unit is aged.
    I would replace with new.
