I received this lightly smashed and a scored piston. The clutch side of the case and oiler is covered in an oil slime. Anything to look for? I don't know if it was oiling properly before.

There’s a small cylindrical rubber gasket between the case and the outlet nub of the oiler. Make sure it’s installed and in good condition. It looks like a small slice of rubber tubing.
 
Are you sure its bar oil? If the piston is scored it may be built up mix oil from a leaky seal.
 
I thought that but I wasn't sure if it made sense. I'm planning on replacing the seals so I didn't p/v test it before disassembly.
