Default bmw cosworth-blue smoke?

hi folks, got a problem with the dreaded blue smoke on my rwd cossie converted bmw touring, previously if i coasted in gear at any speed when i put the foot down agin i got a small puff of blue smoke. but now its started giving puffs whenever i put my foot down, even if i rev it when parked. would they symptoms indicate valve stem oil seals. the piston rings where done 2 years ago but it has been of the road for 18 months and has only done 2000 miles. it had a newer recon t34 fitted a month ago and that had new seals fitted. what would i expect to pay to have valve stem oil seals done? thanks in advance for your help
