So that was the final diagnosis? I'm surprised you didn't see a cloud of burning oil out the exhaust. Funny you PM'd me about the AC because I also did the AOS last weekend. Do a search on the AOS or look it up in the DIY sticky.
I don't think you need to move the AC compressor to do the AOS. It was just a lot of tedious working with small wrenches etc.
$500 isn't a bad price including labor. The part alone is $100 and it took me about 8 hours all-in (though I did the alternator cable at the same time).
Keep us posted!

If excessive high oil level is a contributing factor to AOS failure, it might also be related to whether the failed AOS sucks oil or air when it goes.

Car back from dealer after air oil separator replaced. Then drove car about 25 miles. Still some smell from the engine but I suspect that is engine oil being burnt off from the last bad AOS ?
Thanks everyone for help!
