oil moisture under throttlebody area

Can't figure it out, i have a small amount of oil on the bottom of the hood which i clean off each weekend when detailing the car. I just replaced the stock airbox with an SLP version and when i took of the assembly i noticed a good amount of oil on the bottem side of the air bellow connection where the air flows into the throttle body. anyone have ideas? I keep the engine bay clean so there is no other oil that i can see????

Are you sure you don't have a leak around the rotating assembly and it's shooting up into the engine bay? Start the car, put it on ramps/jack stands and check around for leaks. There's an oil leak, you just have to find it. What about the oil level? Has it been dropping?
