what does the breather do? I got a hose techniques kit. I always deform or melt those little breathers. What is the difference between hose and a breather??? If any?

it keeps oil outta your intake and intercooler (if you got one). my breather is pissin oil all over my valve cover, so i need to get a catchcan.
i never thought i would get blowby during n/a status.
