theres no way your engine would have run properly without them.

Im tellin ya now there was no seals there, but that accounts for the loss of oil ive had for the last two years. Do all 16 valves have a seal or is it just one side?

I can't see how an engine can run without the valve stem seals! If it's possible it will probably burn as much oil as petrol :-/
The valve stem seals are located beneath the spring...but you probably already know this?
They should look like this:
