Silicone around oilpan = reman right?
My oil pan leaks (of course) and I noticed it has offwhite/grey silicone all around it, I hear that means it's a reman and mazda didn't use silicone at build time?

The (1993) engine core I just turned in had the white/gray sealant around it. It was without a doubt the original engine. The reman I got in return has pink gasket sealant.
|
if it is showing that much someone may have tried to fix the oil leak with some silicone sealer instead of taking the whole pan off and putting on a new gasket.

No, the remans just use THAT much sealant, about 2x what is required for a given job. Pink or clear/white can indicate a reman. The factory also used sealant, btw. Usually if there's a mm or 2 worth of extra sealant, it's original, and if there's about a pinky-finger width worth sticking out, then its a reman.
