Judging from your pics your egr is blowing - best to remove, fit a blanking plate, then refit (reconnect electrically)

Where should I fit the blanking plate?

fits between the very rusty bit in the pic and the white/silver bit bolted onto it.

Check your exhaust is not obstructed anyway, the cheap replacement back boxes often fall apart inside and the stuffing blocks the exhaust. That back pressure can make an EGR leak.

Thanks for advice. Central and back exhaust sections were replaced Oct 2010, 26000 miles ago, with eternalcar items. It should not be blocked yet, should it?

Unlikely mate - eternalcar exhausts are good qualty items, and 26K not a hugh mileage for a qualty exhaust

Doubt it, I can't remember when my second exhaust insides went I think must have been about 50K plus and it was a cheap one. But easy to check the final tube anyway, open a coat hanger out, bend the end to a small hook poke it in and see if any fibre comes out with it. First noticed mine when the MOT probe pulled some out.

Yes its leaking. Blank it off IMO.
