SOURCE: chevy

Emissions warranty is 5 year or 50K miles, but I assume the break was not a warranty item.

Most likely will be a dealer only part. Or a junk yard, but they may not want to canibalize an engine for the EGR tube.

Do you need to torque oil pan bolts?
Engine oil pan bolts range in torque from seven foot-pounds to 22 ft-lb or more for large engines with heavier pans and bolts. Once you've torqued the bolts and filled the engine with oil, you should run the engine for five minutes to bring it up to normal operating temperature.
