1. It intercepts the blowby from being blown back into the intake. 2. It stops oil from accumulating in you intercooler and turning into sludge, your chargepipe, Tmap, and back on your valves. 3. None that I know of, I don't know how it could leak on someones spark plugs? 4. I would have to guess the Mckinney one right now. I have the RR and it works good enough, emptied it out ...

The RR leaks a little from what i've read from other members, mines hasn't just a little build up of oil around the sight glass. But when I took it out to empty it, it was still doing its job just fine. I rather have that oil in there than in my intercooler.

i emptied mine last week and there was lots of oil in it. Mine RR was leaking but i have fixed that now. I think a OCC is essential for our engines considering the amount of blowby oil produced.
