Thats not an oil separator, its primary job is to limit crankcase vacuum because of the throttle on 81+ 240Ds. Its called a Crankcase Depression Regulator on GM and VW engines.
The oil drain is to get rid of the natural oil condensation from contacting the large surface area. GM and VW do this by having the valve directly over the valvecover for the oil to drain down the inlet, but thats not practical on a 240D.
I built a separator from a Harbor Freight 1/2" airline water separator.
