There is an issue with the EGR stovepipe melting the UIM, causing internal coolant leakage. There is no repair, replacement is necessary. If you're in it this far, you'd be best served to change the lower intake gaskets as well, because if they aren't blown yet, you're on borrowed time and it's only a few more bolts to get the lower intake off while doing the UIM.

How much do the UIM parts and lower intake gaskets cost if I buy them online? And how long should the job take for an experienced mechanic?
