sign of coolant leak on top radiator hose?

does anyone know if this is a sign of coolant leak, I've seen the same mark/stain (circled in yellow on the pics) on similar B58 as well. I've got a low coolant warning on the iDrive and have added coolant once.

The videos post by 'kern417' also shows the same 'stain/mark', another coolant hose just below the charge pipe also have the same 'grey' stain/mark.
