no its not. It is an oil "catch can" /breather. It collects oil that makes its way by the PCV valve. Its there to vent the crankcase.

yeah, its connected up to the pcv valve and then up to the intake manifold. the vacuum from the IM pulls out all the air/vapor mixture from underneith your pistons so that you dont have blow-by and unseat your rings on the decompression stroke.
