Do a .
This has been discussed to death.
There are several ways to do it. A lively debate always follows.
Yes, you can do it yourself. Special tools are required, but they are not expensive... depending on how you do it...

No need to be sorry for being new. I hav`nt done valve seals on my Iroc yet but I did on my `74 El Camino and it was easy. The hardest part of the job is probably going to be getting the valve covers off. Do as Super42 suggested and do a search and take notes. Work up a parts list along with the tools you will need and keep on asking questions, it is the only way to learn anything. I assume your car smokes when first started and until it warms up some, is it also fouling out the spark plugs?
