Premptively Change Air/Oil Separator?

My '98 Boxster (with '99 3.4 motor) has the original air/oil separator as far as I know. At least it has the style that has the round part oriented horizontally. I plan to make a bunch of road trips this summer. Is it likely to fail and does it make sense to get a new one and put it on now to eliminate problems on long drives?

TIA

I also have a 98. Now, I don't know if my oil separator is going bad, but I'm sure it is. Signs included white smoke for every start up, idle problems, common maf sensor codes, misfire.. etc.

If my problem is due to an oil separator, then Yes I would say get that fixed first because the idle is so off, that the engine may stall at any given time. I would say it makes "sense" to replace it ASAYGTC. (As soon as you get the chance).
