From your description, that sounds like the EGR valve. The mounting surface faces toward the radiator. It has two bolts one of which may serve as a ground point. The valve often gets filled with carbon. Without any vacuum connection it’s inoperable. You can just leave it or for a cleaner look fashion a bolt on cover.
