Maybe because simple question like this could be answered if you were smart enough to use google or the search button?

"For those that have modified their engines breather systems an oil catch tank collects the crankcase gases that would other wise be fed back into the inlet of the engine to be burnt away. Once in the tank the gases condense into a crappy oily liquid.

The reason for modifying the breather in the first place is to provide a cleaner supply of air for the engine, at the expense of the environment which is why the factory set up burns it off. If you've ever opened an air box to find a load of oil in it, that's where it will be from. "
