The previous owner blocked off the EGR coolant and didn't do a great job with it. I can't find where the coolant returned from the EGR, I'm guessing somewhere on the lower intake. I have these rusty water marks on my firewall and didn't know if this has something to do with it. Any help/pics would be appreciated.

by the 2 ports on the sides of the egr, they run to heater lines under TB.

Maybe I worded it wrong, I'm looking for where the coolant returns to the system after the EGR. I know the coolent come from the heater line to the EGR, is that where it also returns?

There should be a fitting at the rear passenger side corner of the lower intake manifold.

Awsome, thanks a lot for the pic. I'll have to see what's blocking it off. I have constantly been fighting wth coolant leaks and I'm trying to check everything coolant related.

Probably just has a pipe plug in it. I have a couple of those fitting laying around, let me know if you need one.
