If you want to stop it - if only to keep the area looking clean - unscrew the releif valve and smear a little instant gasket on the thread then re-fit it. Un-bolt the EGR and use some instant gasket on the mating surfaces.

Trouble is, then you see all the other bits that leak just a little and before you know it you've bits off all over the place!!!

Rather embarrasingly had to call on a friend with a Toyota Hi-Lux who had rather a bit more experience than me in the mud!

main problem is that it drips on the alternator, then oil ingestion wreaks the seals.
