I have to wonder about the statements that an oil/air separator will
increase the sludge because H2O will be retained.

I assume there's an atmosphere vent on the separator, no? [Cars no longer
have same; the PCV system ducts the vapor back into the air cleaner
to be burned...]

ISTM that as you reach operating temperature, the water in the oil gets
evaporated out and vented off; separator or not. Is there some reason this
does not happen?
