How will a car act if the valve stem seals are bad?
If the valve stem seals are bad the intake valves will "suck" oil into the cylinders. One common indicator of worn valve stem seals is to take your foot off the accelerator for several seconds when going downhill, then watch for smoke when you step on the accelerator again. If you see a puff of BLUISH smoke, you probably have bad valve stem seals. The catalytic converter can become oil fouled so that would be another indicator that you might have valve stem seal problems.

What is a rubber valve stem?
That would be the part of the wheel where you add air to the tire.
How do bellows valves work?
Bellow is similar to a hollow flexible hose. It functions like a vertical diaphragm (parallel instead of perpendicular to valve stem). It seals with the valve stem at one end, and seals with the valve body at the other end. Therefore, it allows a small relative move between valve stem and body, but prevents fluid from leaking across bellow surface. The move pushes seat or stem tip for valve to close or open. --SteveX
