Plus the compressor water separator does just that, separates the water from the air oil mix. I have never had one fail on my compressor setup. I even have that bastard sitting in the snow the past week.
I was wondering the same; I posed a question a couple of pages back about adding a desiccant canister somewhere in the mix. There ought to be some cost-effective method of removing the condensed moisture from the crankcase before it has a chance to form sludge and freeze.
