mk4 golf burning oil

[jellyhashman]

Symptoms are blue smoke from start up, soon goes away. Smokes when applying throttle after going down hill in gear foot off accelerator. No noticeable smoke under normal driving and at WOT high RPM

From looking online I'm thinking it will be valve stem seals?

Am I right, or could it be owt else?
