Quick look you can get it cheaperGenuine Fiat 500/Ford KA 1.2 Petrol Air Filter Box Rubber Seal | eBay

Thing is i only brought it today surely it shouldn't be like thatI do not think thats anything much to worry about. There is always a little oil thereabouts and we have 2 1.2 Fiats that have varying amounts of oil there. It comes through the crankcase breather pipes and as long as its minimal its irritating but not anything that is likely to cause major issues. You could clean the area and the inside of the air filter box with some kitchen roll and see what returns after a few thousand miles.
Looks OK to me based on comparing our which is 2014 40,000 miles. At this age it will not be perfect and you have to accept condition relating to age.. See what others think. I dont think there is anyting missing.Thing is i only brought it today surely it shouldn't be like that
