EGR removal lessen intake oil leak?

Will the EGR delete help the rear intake oil leak problem?? Seeing as the EGR gets hot being connected to the exhaust, if you remove the pipe/disable it, will that help the problem from the intake dropping oil when getting hot? It's been to dang cold to !EGR and see if it works, just wanted to see if anyone has done this and found the intake oil leak kinda subsides..

If you relocate the EGR tube, or heat wrap it, I've heard this also helps keep the intake from future leakage.

Yes, some people claim the original cause of the oil leak is due to the EGR supply tube being too close to the intake manifold and overheating the sealant, causing it to break down over time.
