Oil Separator

It's the modern version of a PCV valve, which allows pressure inside the crankcase to be relieved without bringing oil with it. It spins so that the oil is centrifugally pushed to the outer edges of the cover and the air is sucked out from the center and router back to the intake.

I have another question for you sir. My wife has acquired a 2008 CLK550 Cabriolet from her sister as a gift. It has 23K miles on it. The original window sticker indicates that it has an option package which included the Satellite Radio, Multiple CD Disc device in glove box and pre-wire for the hands-free telephone system. However I do not see any cradle or device in the center console. How could I make the vehicle able to bluetooth to an iphone or is it not able to be done?

It could be. More often than not, you get oil leaks around the cover where it seals against the head. AS the rubber ages, you could get leaks in the vacuum hose leading from there to the intake.
