Rings are slowly wearing out on every one but the top picture, last cylinder. I don't see any obvious signs of a gasket leak between the individual cylinders.

This happens over time to all high-mileage engines. You can either fix the one cylinder and get along for another 50K miles or more as-is(most likely), or do a complete rebuild. Or, just swap in another more modern engine if you have the money.
