It catches any oil that overflows with either an overfilled engine or an overheated one.

not the only purpose.

Its designed to redirect the oil and fumes into a breather tank rather than putting it back into the inlet.

If you look on your 106 james your breather pipe goes back in before the throttle body which over time can build up and decrease flow.
