Hmmm, that doesn't sound too good. Could be rings or guides. At lower speeds (or idle), it would be easier for oil to bypass the rings and the guides. At higher speeds (where there is more vacuum pressure), you're going to get less 'seepage.'
As an alternative to rebuilding, you might want to try a bit thicker oil in your engine, as this has a tendency not to slip by the cracks and spaces in the rings and guides as much. Might buy you a few thousand miles or more...
Don't use synthetic on a car this old - it will probably be too slick, and increase your problems...
