My small turbo EsCos has recently started smoking

It seems fine as far as I can see (which isn't much through the back window of an Escort Cossie) when normal driving, but once you come to rest at idle sat at traffic lights or whatever, after about 20 seconds it starts blowing blue smoke out and doesn't clear until you set off again! Am I right in thinking that it's time for some new valve stem oil seals??
