I have valve stem oil seals on my car, along with the rocker oil feed
line, and the setup works great. However, I don't know if the oil
seals will work as a "band aid" for you car. It sounds like your
guides have some wear in them, which is causing the leak. I replaced
my valves and guides, and fitted the seals.
By the way, I have no idea who the vendor or part number was for the
valve stem seals. Sorry! But I think you just need to provide some
basic measurements to someone who is in the business, and they can
suggest seals that will work.
