Is your coolant nice and clean in your degas bottle? oil in it? Is your coolant puking out of the degas bottle?

Im with 05wh250. That's where you're egr cooler is. More likely for it to pop. Check the heater core pipe also...runs over the top of passenger side valve cover.

^^This. Look in between the intake manifold, and oil filter housing right in front of the turbo. If that hose is orange you need the updated blue hose. That would be your leak.
