Looks like corrosion, I see you live up north. Just try to keep it cleaned off, you can use the same solution you would with a battery. It's probably comming from the bolts since the FPR itself is Aluminium. It may sound crazy, but I've heard adding a Ground strap or maybe another metal bracket to ground the PFR out will help reduce the rate at which it corrodes.

Wipe it off and the area aound it really clean. Then take the car for a drive and do an inspection of the immediate area. Look for the source. Could be a boost leak in that area maybe. It looks atomized.

yeah I would say clean it off real good and then see if it builds agian and then see where it's building from. The corrosion could attract dust and what not in the air and stick to the corrosion.

could be condinsation of sorts and oil is attracting to it?
