The main reason to service the oil separator box is to replace the 2 air lines. The one that goes around the block to the turbo gets brittle and can crack under the soft cover.

In your case, I suspect that the PTC is clogged. That is where the other air line from the oil separator meets the air intake, just before the turbo. A little hard to remove, you need to take off the air intake line and clean out the PTC. Easy to recognize, it has an electrical plug.

Remove the air intake and clean out the PTC nipple. My understanding is that the PTC cannot be bought separately and only as part of a new air intake line, which is of course expensive.
