I noticed that I am getting a little oil blow by that is centralized around the EGR valve. There is an intake that goes into the top of the engine right in front of the EGR valve that has a black rubber hose with hose clamp going to the intake. The last time I had this issue, it was the clamp that was loose and allowing the oil to escape. I just had my oil cooler and EGR cooler upgraded and I am figuring the mechanic did not tighten the clamp enough. It was loose when I checked it, so I tightened it, but I don't want to over tighten and break something. How tight should the clamp be? Thanks!!
