These old engines are tired after many years. If there's no external leaks, Pull the spark plug and take a look at it, you'll probably see evidence of oil getting burnt. A combination of the cylinder in them getting out of round and worn rings is most likely the culprit. Unfortunately it's time to rebuild.
