1989 Land Rover Defender smoking when engine breaking

Engine Mechanical problem
1989 Land Rover Defender 4 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 129000 miles

My landrover smokes quite heavily when engine breaking. especially when cold. i've been told this could be the valve stem oil seals. i know the old gal has done some milage but it pulls ok and accelerates without any smoke. Any advice would be welcome cheers
