Default Rusty oil in charge air pipe?

Now... should I be worried, very worried or not at all worried...

I removed the charge air pipe (the one that leaves the cooler) the other day and found the inside was coated with a brownish oil (rusty colour but don't know if there was rust)... how bad could it be and where should I start looking?

Here's the part in case this doesn't make sense:

Thanks!

An opinion would be the check your AOS-air oil separator "O" rings.
This recent post may offer additional information.

Are there any other deposits showing in the air intake boots or hoses?
