The spark plugs do get "wet" outside the combustion chamber (where the wire boot attaches), but I

Ok well i belive the smoke is oil, because it was about a quart and half low. So it must be the valve seals. My question is...The service guide refers to the seals as the valve oil seals. But it doesnt mention if they can be replaced from above the head (without removing the head)? just pull the cams and lifters and the seal is right there?\
thanks
