None of my 240's or my 190 had one(the separator). Both my 240's now dont leak and the air cleaner stays clean of oil, very nice..The 190 had a cleanable wire mesch air cleaner that after cleaning I put a little oil in it.That car used oil just sitting around, but it didn't leak much I think it drank it. I had a 1977 240 and I tried to find one for that car but I sold it. It would soak up the air filter with oil in a very short time of driving. Max
