There is no excess smoke coming out at start up, could that still be symptoms of oil separator? As I read through the previious treads, what are the chances of idle rollers going south?

If you open the engine compartment, you can watch the oil filler tube when you start the engine. As it warms up, the tube flattens out when the oil separator has a leak in it. You'll also start to see more smoke at start up. If it's the separator, you need to replace it asap as it can cause the engine to hydrolock if too much moisture gets in.
