I looked through the archives, but still remain unsure of what exactly is the oil separator (i get what it does, just not what it looks like).

I think my car might not have it; it is a euro, non-turbo, with just the basic vent tube from the top of the valve cover to the top of the air cleaner.

anyone have a handy pic of a naturally aspirated W123 with that separator?
