You talking about the canister at the front of the engine, correct? It is something that need to be in place. Most guys remove the bottle, and use heater hose to extend the blow by hose to axle level.

Check the bolts that hold the front Timing cover to the block they work loose over time and cause bad leaks around the front of the engine.
