Do you have a cone filter fitted, I;ve seen some cone filters soaked with too much oil in the past and that can cause oil in the AFM.

I've seen traces of oil in the TB from the breather return and sometimes it does make it's way into the AFM. Just give it a clean I don't think it's anything to be worried about unless there's an excessive amount.
