Default '49 8BA Valve stem seals

Stock 8BA - Pretty sure I have problems here. Blowing a lot of blue smoke until warmed up. Rings appear ok. Compression check: All but #7 are @118. #7 is 110.

Any ideas for poor man's fix? I live in a mobile home park with no garage and pulling the engine is not an option. Thanks for any input advice.
