Kyle,

I went through the exact same process last year with the same results. In my plane at least, the oil/air separator and most of the breather system is directly in the path of the cold air blasting in through the scoop.

I insulated the entire breather and the oil/air sep with high quality pipe insulation. I think this helps keep the oil from congealing in the system and plugging it up. Since I've been careful about the insulation, I haven't had the system plug up nearly as bad. I still remove and clean all the breather plumbing at each annual.
