If its the seals can i fix it easy myself?

Two things could be the cause but the most likely is the valve seals. Yes they are easy for an intermediate mechanic. That engine prolly smokes more than a raging forest fire. Do a compression test following the directions in the service manual for that vehicle to rule out the second possibility for the smoke.... cracked rings.

I would take it out back with a shot gun and shoot it a few times. TOD is about to come for it.
