My initial question was because of milkshake sludge in the oil filler - thinking a failing AOS can cause it. So there's another question, what causes the sludge?

Last weekend I did the vacuum test side by side with a 2003 C4S with a known good AOS, both were sucking similar and were relatively easy to remove.
Oil sludge is possibly engine oil and coolant intermix. I’d investigate that before buying an AOS.
