Why is my Focus blowing blue smoke?

I own a 1998 ford focus 2.0 petrol, it's done 144,000 miles and over the past six months it has started to blow out lots of blue. I think it may be the valve stem oil seals, any idea how much this would be to get sorted?

Depends if they can do them in situ or if the head has to come off. In situ about £500. Head off £750 - £1,000. (More than the car is worth.)
