Leaks galore! Sell car or rebuild engine?

I have oil leaking into the combustion chambers, leaks from the intake manifold that drips along the sides of the block, and another leak coming from the bottom end, maybe the balancer. It's running like crap at idle and has no low end torque. The oil looks like a starbucks frappuccino and the car needs a paint job anyway. So what do I do?

Sell it?

Junk it?

Rebuild 305?

New 350?

Please give me your suggestions.
