Good advice, but know that if the cross over pipe is full of black tarry goo that is a normal byproduct of a properly functioning evil EGR valve. Don't confuse that with oil from a blown turbo.
Wear gloves, that black snot is the worst to get off your fingers. Even with GoJo, it barely makes a dent in it.
