Part cost $114.56
Total labor for all the repairs 5.5 hours (oil/air separator, coolant expansion tank, hoses and diagnostic).

My suggestion, if the engine and tranny are out replace the parts and hoses, if not leave it alone. It is never just replacing a single part.

Good luck.
Thanks! My engine has approximately 50K miles on it now. The engine is going to be out, so I would like to address any potential upcoming issues at this time. Where did you find the air oil separator for $114.56? That's a good price.
