Catch can is plumbed in between the PVC valve and the rear vacuum line that feeds into the intake manifold. It essentially routes the line that the originator of this mod ran directly to the rear vacuum port through a catch can rather than directly into the rear vacuum port on the intake.

I have considered stuck rings. Not sure there's a way to unstick them if they are other than pulling the pistons and installing new rings and I'm NOT going to do that to prevent the loss of 1 quart of oil every 1500 miles (average) or so.
