Default Humidity on air filter box

Hi folks

Today i went to get the oil changed for my 2013 2.4 journey, when i opened the hood i noticed there was humidity on the air filter box, but i don't know what could be wrong, the car has 15.000 miles and all I've done is changed the oil when it was 7.000 miles. As you can see it has low mileage because we barely use this car, sometimes it is sitting on the garage for 3 or 4 weeks.
I'd like to have a second opinion before taking it to the dealer.
Here goes a pic:


Thanks

...by humidity you mean condensation, water droplets? The picture just looks like a dusty air filter cover.
7000 miles is a long oil change interval imo; irregardless of what the oil life monitor says.

yes it's dirty but I think there is something wrong going on because the condensation/humidity is just on the air filter, everything around is dry and dusty. I was thinking in doing a engine vapor wash and then keep looking how it goes as I use the car, could it help?
