The leaks arise when a positive pressure is trapped inside the crank case... That positive pressure, although very slight is enough to push oil out of seals. The idea of CCV is to bleed off that pressure inside the crank case. There is a very slight chance that the original vent would ever get clogged, but when you route the vent to the back of your truck with 5 or so ft of hose, there is a greater chance that the hose could become bent or get clogged and not allow the crank case pressure to vent.
