Oil Breather/separator?

Hey guys,

I've checked Ream OEM and it appears my August '05 build 3.0d has the newer 'Vortex' style breather/separator setup (as compared to the old style loo roll separator).

My question is, does the new style unit require service the same way the old loo roll type one does??

My car seems to blow a little more (quite a bit more actually) diesel smoke out the rear under heavy acceleration, than I am happy with and this has been pointed to as a possible culprit??

Anyone got any thoughts??
