I have a water trap and an oiler on mine, they are two separate bottles. I have them on a board just beside the compressor. i put the compressor in a carpet lined mdf cupboard as the running noise use to annoy me. My airline then plugs into the oiler.

There shouldn’t be much in the way of oil pass over from the compressor but there is certainly water in the air. Hence the need for a water trap then oiler.

Yup. The oil trap is to keep the line clean for running a paint gun or plasma cutter.. So that's another reason to run an inline oiler attached directly to the tool (or at least a hose used only with that tool)

I’m a total convert to liquid ptfe. 

I bought a quick coupler spigot for a nut gun the other day and the threads to go into the nut gun were covered in crusty white/grey/blue stuff. I assume that's liquid PTFE?
