Trace amounts of oil in the airbox? :(

I was checking my air filter today and when i pulled the filter out there were trace amounts of oil on the bottom of the assembly. There was no significant build up but if you ran your finger along the inside it would be covered with a layer of oil....There was no oil on the actual filter

I pulled the charge pipes and theres no oil in the charge pipes, how concerned should i be about this?

The car spools up quick and doesnt blow smoke out the exhaust, but im still concerned...

Do you have alot of miles on the car? Definitely sounds like blow-by.
