2017 Honda Ridgeline Smoke Test EGR in question was created by Dmartin83
New to using Smoke Test and had a 2017 Honda Ridgeline leaking from the EGR Body and not the gasket. Was wondering if anyone had any experience with this on Honda engines. I have done quite a bit of research before posting here and the general consensus is that it is considered normal..

Here is a video link to show you. Video here

Would like to hear your input!

It's normal. When I first got a smoke machine, I replace a couple EGR valves, only have the new valves leak, too.  Unless, you are chasing an issue, ignore the smoke leaking from the EGR.

Thank you for the response. I am having a Bank 2 Rich code along with misfires across all Bank 2 cylinders but I wanted to verify that it was normal before spending $200+ on an egr valve.
