There are tools to do just that. Doing one cylinder at a time, you remove a spark plug and install a quick disconnect air fitting in its place. Connect your shop air compressor line to it and maintain air pressure, 100 psi is good. The air pressure will hold the valve in place during this procedure. Now you will need the proper tool to compress the valve spring and remove the retainers (keys) then the valve spring. Remove the old valve seal and replace with a new one, then reverse procedure to install spring and keys. Your local auto parts store should have the tools you need for sale or rent.

The seals sit in the head of the motor. Each cylinder has 4 valves, 2 intake and 2 output valves, each valve has a semi rubber/metal seal that keeps oil from leaking into the combustion chamber. Replacing the seals requires removing the head from the motorblock.

Repair 99 Kia sportage Valve Oil seal?
to do this ,( if i understand your question), the oil valve seals are located on each valve inside the valve springs. To get to them you must remove the head and use a spring compression tool to release the valve springs to get to them.They have to be replaced ,there is no " repair ".Yo can also pressurize each spark plug hole with compressed air to keep the valves up so you can replace the seals, this will save you from removing the head as long as the valve does not drop into the piston chamber.Hope this helps.
