Question Wierd stain on air filter

Just took out my air box and when i looked at my air filter I notised their was a stain on the side where the hoses led to the turbos. Any Idea what it may be? It goes across the wigth of the whole filter. I hope its not oil from the turbos. It does look like an oil stain. If it is, is this normal our am i going to need new turbos in the near future?

Oil from the blow-off valve, perhaps? Normal for a little. I've got quite a bit.

Edit: When did you first notice it, and when was the last time you checked your filter? A picture might be helpful too. But I'll wager it's from the BOV.
