Closed crankcase ventilation filter, Volvo FH classic

Apparently the above on my 13 litre FH is life expired and is pumping oil into the intercooler. This became obvious when oil seeped out of a split in the cooler. Volvo want £444 for the filter plus an hour to fit but are replacing the intercooler FOC under their driveline warranty… While I wait at home for it to be done just wondered is this a common occurance?! Unit has done 525k
Thanks all

I’ve not had to replace one on any of my 13 litre engines. The pipe from the rocker cover tends to split though
