Does this piston look stock to you??

,Just trying to get an idea of how many hours are on this bike. 2000 kdx200. It had and still has really good compression, looking pretty clean except for some little things. The guy who owned it was an engineer and it truly was his wife's bike.
The black **** on the piston is because it burns tranny oil. I confirmed this with UV dye, will pull the motor and pressurize the transmission while I spray soap and bubbles in the crankcase to locate the leak, I will probably document it too. If it is the crank seals, I am considering removing the lip and replace them without splitting the motor and use some type of special glue to secure them in. Has anyone ever done this procedure without splitting the cases?
Thanks for your help guys, I plan on plating it and riding the pch someday!
