Have been tested at 80psi, no leaks. I think with my car at 15 psi, it will do just fine.

Catch can should take care of oil sludge build up. It also states that it is a gas/liquid check valve.

For the price, if it does fill up with crud, I will put another in, I have a couple of these when I ordered them. They are that cheap!

aren't you worried what will happen if yours fill up with crud?

What is in your metal check valve that makes it seal? It is a metal seal? Plastic? rubber? you should cut one in half to show how it works
