Default Diagnosing a valve seal problem

After ruling out other parts of the car (Turbo - went for service, rings - got a compression test done, all at 120psi) I am thinking that I have worn valve stems/seals in my heads which the cause for the smoke beign produced from the back of the car.

The problem is been happening for the last year or so but has become noticably worse in the last few months with smoke appearing from pulling out from junctions not just from conditions under boost.

It there any way of checking to be sure that this is my problem before I pay to get the engine taken out and the heads replaced? Its gonna get expensive if I do....!
