pulled the egr valve off of my 4.3 vortec today to clean the carbon out of it when i pulled it off it was milky looking inside i,m guessing this could indicate a blown intake gasket .

Are you losing coolant?

Leaking? You mean externally? Where?

Fix that problem before you worry about the EGR vale. It may or may not be related.

If the other leak is caused by the intake gasket, then it's not going to matter so either fix that first or remove the intake gasket and look.
