Recommendation/ Cost for valve stem seal replacement?

Hello,

I am getting smoke on deceleration and at idle.It was not bad at first, but now a few months down the line I have huge smoke clouds. I wanted to know if this job is worth DIYing, and if there is a DIY available?

If not, what will this usually cost? Any shops you would recommend?

thanks,
DK

The turbo is relatively new. But how can I rule it out?

Hmm how many miles do you have on the car? Does it smoke on a cold start?

~165,000. It smokes on a cold start if left to idle for more than 5 minutes.
