To fix it properly will you have to pull the engine? If so considering the age and all try some engine stop leak. In the olden days #3 DOT brake fluid. It's a temporary fix but it's "chicken soup, it couldn't hurt"

I founded that the head bolts need to be tighten to specification- stop my leak from back head leak-Try it!
