When I did my oil change @ 825kms i notice some oil in the air box, not tons of but some in the bottom from the crankcase vent, wipped it all out with a clean cloth...just curious I know my '05 did have some to but I tought with the newer motors they had this solved.
 

rx1 i had the same problem in my APRILIA RSVMILLE (motorcycle) ,the really quick fix was getting a longer breather hose and putting a "loop" in it before connecting it to the airbox,this way the oil just flowed back to the engine.i wonder if this will work,real simple......
 
That amount is normal the air box is designed to use this small amount of oil to keep the air cleaner element oiled to catch and trap dust grass clippings bark chips you name it.
