3) Are there any problems with them?

Thanks,

The following is an excerpt from Sacramento Skyranch's monthly
newsletter (hopefully not breaking any copyright rules here). Quite an
eye-opener on the whole Air/Oil Separator issue. The Sacramento
Skyranch website is at www.sacskyranch.com and is full of very
interesting info.

Victor at Victor Engines in Palo Alto claims he can always tell which
engines have had air oil separators. More corrosion.

What one needs for the next level is a decanter at the bottom of
the Walker type-- oil goes back into engine, water gets dumped.

On Twin Bonanzas, Dave Monti tells me that the oil separator
outputs got dumped into the exhaust augmentor. Perfect solution...
the trash gets burned, not put back in the engine.
