An air filter/oil separator assembly comprises a housing having an outer wall and a channel disposed therein between a primary gas inlet and a primary gas outlet. An air filter is joined to the primary gas inlet for filtering air from the immediate environment for introduction into an engine intake system. The housing includes a secondary inlet port through the outer wall, for receiving an air-oil mixture taken from an engine crankcase breather, and a secondary outlet port through the channel wall. A baffle is disposed axially within the housing and extends axially between the outer wall and the channel wall. The baffle, outer wall, and channel wall together define a first and second air flow passageway between the secondary inlet and secondary outlet ports. A removable filter element is disposed within at least one of the first and second passageways to capture air-borne particulate matter and/or aid in the coalescence and separation of oil within the air-oil mixture.

1. An assembly for filtering air flow and separating air-oil contaminate mixtures, the assembly comprising:a housing having an outer wall and channel disposed therein between a primary gas inlet and a primary gas outlet; an air filter joined to the primary gas inlet; a secondary inlet port through the outer wall; a secondary outlet port through the channel wall; an air flow passageway between the outer wall and channel and interposed between the secondary inlet and secondary outlet ports such that there is no straight line air flow therebetween; a removable filter element disposed within the air flow passageway; and means for removably attaching the removable filter within the housing and for providing a substantially air-tight seal with the housing.
