Darrell,
Option C and D will probably cost you $10K to $15K. Hopefully it's neither of those, because as you point out the car becomes almost worthless.
I've replaced the oil/water cooler in my 02. The cooler costs $165 and it took me 3 hours to replace (but I already had the trans out). To get at it without the trans out, the intake manifold on the passenger side needs to come off, which is a PITA. $900 plus $500 seems excessive even at the dealer rates.
When the oil/air separator went bad did the oil and antifreeze mix? There is a lot of antifreeze in the system, and with the coolers in the front it is difficult to get all of the antifreeze out.
I'd be glad to swing by and take a look at it for you.
