There are no signs of external leakage?

You have looked thoroughly?

I would suggest to check to make sure there is good vacuum at the pcv valve. IF not, fix the pcv system to restore the vacuum.

IF it is good, then pull the spark plugs and look at there condition for signs of burning.

Perform a compression test to see if rings are bad, next a leak down test to check the seals.

You can replace the engine with a used one, it will be considerably cheaper.

If rings are bad, then possible oil pump, or it was ran low on oil.
