Well not every engine is perfect. Some of the oil escapes from the head and is just pumped through the engine and out the exhaust through the tubes that connect from the head to the intake tube (between MAF and TB). With the supercharger (or any set up, really) its just a safety precaution to take that oil, put it through a filter (catch can part of the system), then deposit it back to the engine.

This small amount that comes from the head isn't really anything to worry about, most engines have some sort of system to deal with it.

However, since there is a supercharger there, there's probably going to be more oil than usual being dumped into that intake pipe which isn't great for the s/c.

[/correct me if I'm wrong]

This will probably be the next thing on my list of to-do's for my s/c, but really since it was installed any I went directly on vacation I just want to drive it for a while
