klnteg, I know how you feel. I had the same frustration last winter, after I had the oil separator freeze up twice. Each time resulted in the valve cover gasket failing. During the first repair, the oil separator was "cleaned", not replaced. A few weeks later, the thing froze again. This time (a different dealer) informed me that there was an update to the oil separator design. They said the new design would not freeze up. I'm on my first winter now with this new design, so I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Good luck! I recommend getting the new separator. There was a recent DIY on the separator. I've taken mine off once to make sure that it was not clogged. It's fairly easy to do... long arms help

I am at cross roads with this thing! Do I sell it or keep fixing!! AAAHHHHHHHH
Thanks For any tips or advice!
