search bro...depending on how its configured...it keeps oil from gunking up your intake and /or throttle body....for example A. oil coats intake/hotside intercooler pipes...dust builds up on oil...intercooler/pipes lose cooling efficency...
If you want a fix for that dipstick coming out..... Here:

I know it's long but here's a thread with a functional catch can. I know there are diagrams in there somewhere.

Here's a thread on the operation and theory of the PCV/Breather system and why you need two catch cans, and why you need media inside them.
