It's used to catch oil that's making it's way back into your intake from the PCV system.

It may or may not be an issue with your motor. I found small amounts of oil on the backside of my TB butterfly. I didn't know where it was coming from until I read about the Catch can. I'm not finding a lot but it's definitely in there (in the Catch can).

Thanks Dan

This stuff was headed for my intake manifold (300 miles worth).

aren't the earlier models safer from the oil in the intake? It seems laike the later years had oil consumption problems.
