Does a catch can HAVE to be level to work properly, not optimally?

Oil catch can needs to be drained. It holds oil vapor until it condenses so technically it doesn’t have to be level, hell it can be all kinds of shapes with internal baffles if you really wanted so long as you drain it once in a while your good.
