FIAT Diesel Engine (What's this thing?)

[anonymous-user]

Hello everyone,

This morning the old man sent me a text with a few images from his engine bay. He's found a drop of oil on this plastic housing shown in the images. Looking at it, I've got no idea what the housing is or what it's covering. Can anyone tell me? It's a 2012 Chrysler Delta with a 1.6 (I think) diesel engine.

It looks very similar to the EGR cooler housing that I had on my old Insignia diesel and I may be wrong but it think that was from the same family of engines ?

That’s the EGR cooler. I had oil sitting on top of mine. (Alfa 159 2.0jtdm). I had a small oil leak from the front corner of the engine block and it was collecting on top of the cooler.
