Leak Between EGR Valve & Intake Manifold (MK6, 2.0L, 100hp)

[transit_flow]

Hello everyone,
In my Ford Transit (2005, 2.0 litre engine, 100 hp) there is a leak between the EGR valve and the intake manifold.
Does anyone here have any idea what kind of fluid this could be and how it comes about? Would it be enough to replace the seal and possibly clean the Intake Manifold or could there be an underlying problem?
Background:
Recently the EGR pipe (between the valve and the exhaust manifold) cracked at a weld and was replaced by a garage. After I returned home, I noticed the leak. I assume that they removed the valve to replace the pipe. As the workshop is a long way away, I can't just drive past there. If just replacing the gasket(s) is enough, I might want to try that myself.

I'll attach a photo (before I wiped the valve). You can also see that there are splashes all around.

I would be grateful for any tips!

It's just engine oil, the EGR and breather system recirculates all the crap back into the inlet manifold, if you remove the inlet manifold, intercooler, (If fitted), and EGR valve, you'll find them full of oily spooge. You're not alone, happens to all of them.

A new O-ring seal may be all you need.. #7 here:
