    How many miles on it?

    Is the engine coolant level dropping in the reservoir?

    It may well be leaking head gasket; a leak-down test would be good to check this.

    EGR circuit cleaning is always good, if you've got over 100K miles it for sure needs doing, but at this point may be "closing the barn door after the horses have bolted".

    Also intake manifold should be thoroughly cleaned, and if you want to help keep the EGR and intake manifold cleaner down-the-road: look into oil catch cans.

    Just occurred to me: this thread would be more at home in Maintenance and Repair forum, I'll flag the mod's.
