Default Bad Valve Stem Symptoms?

The 12v has been misfiring after driving for ten minutes or so. Seems to be after getting up to temp. Can oil consumption from bad valve stem seals cause missing? Fouling the plugs maybe? It runs fine after you shut it down and let it cool. Starts up again after ten minutes or so. I'm also blowing smoke after car is warm at low revs and idle.
