Turbo seals, valve stem seals and blue smoke...

Hello- OK, I hope some one can give me some ideas here. When I first start out in the morning or after the car has been sitting for a few hours I get some blueish smoke. Not much but enough to say hmmmm. At night I can see smoke in the headlights behind me if I get on it a little, but I think some of that is normal diesel. I have noticed that there seems to be a bit of oil in the air filter and some in the turbo inlet when I have removed the "u" tube. I am thinking maybe valve stem seals need replacing. Has anyone else had the same experience and did replacing the valve stem seals correct this? Also which seals could be going on the turbo? Thanks for any advice.
