Default 2003 A6 3.0 valve cover ventilation question

Hello all,

I've just replaced me beloved '99 A6 2.8Q by 2003 A6 3.0Q and noticed that I cannot find that nasty Y-shaped valve which, as was claimed here, caused premature valve cover oil leaks on my 99. Did Audi finally figure this out and replaced it with something really working, or it's just been moved to some other place under the hood? There's T-shaped connector where Y-shaped valve used to be.
Do you know if 2003 still has the same problem with valve cover and camshaft adjusters oil leaks?
Thanks
