Are you looking to remove the EGR valve as per title of thread or the EGR cooler fitted to automatic vehicles?

Not long. It's easy to get at, and only has 2 cooling pipes, and 2 exhaust transfer pipes. There's a couple of mounting bolts too, but nothing difficult.

Or, if it is leaking, you could blank the EGR and then cap the water pipes to it.
hi, its there a video to show how to remove and replace it, thanks

It's simple enough not to need a video.

That's not right, as there's no oil going to the cooler. There's only hot exhaust gasses going through the cooler to EGR valve, and coolant, which is cooling the hot exhaust gasses passing through.
It's more likely the vacuum pump is the source of the oil leak, which is near the EGR cooler.
Can you post some pictures of the issue, as many as you can from different angles.
Edited, typo.

The EGR cooler and vacuum pump are visible from under the bonnet, LH side of the car, between the battery and engine.

I'm wondering if there is some confusion here. It isn't the oil cooler for the engine or the gearbox that is leaking is it??
