Boxster Air Oil Separator

Pelican Technical Article: Boxster Air / Oil Separator Replacement - 986 / 987

Quote:
The engine air-oil separator is an emissions device located on the top right rear corner of the engine. The separator is responsible for collecting residual gases and vapors contained inside the crankcase and funneling them back into the intake manifold where they can be burned in the combustion chamber. This reduces the overall emissions of the engine.
Curious, how do these "residual gases and vapors" get into the crankcase?
