When replacing a valve cover do you also need to remove the head gasket and replace it too?
No you do not.... the valve cover only bolts to the head, and the head bolts to the block... True- these are two different jobs. When changing your valve cover gasket you may just want to ensure that your head bolts and lifters are still torqued down properly. Otherwise, DO NOT remove the head gasket if you simply want to change the valve cover gasket. when replacing the head gasket you should replace the valve cover gasket and may need to (depending on make & model) replace the egr gasket, intake mainifold gasket, and exhaust manifold gasket ...but not the other way around. If your replacing the head gasket ask your local auto shop if they carry a head gasket kit that includes everything necessary in one box...but if your just changing the valve cover gasket then just change that.
Could leaky vale covers cause bad head gasket signs?
If the valve cover is leaking it may let oil flow down the head and make the Head gasket appear to be leaking. Clean the engine and then use oil dye or watch for leaks. If there is a coolant leak it is not the valve cover.

How do you change a valve cover gasket on a 1991 Geo prism?
Remove the bolts from the old one, pull it off, take the old gasket off, clean the valve cover and put a new one in it's place. Just make sure you disconnet any other items that may be bolted to the valve cover before you try to remove it from the engine. You may also want to use a good hi-temp gasket sealer on the cover only. DO NOT apply it to both sides of the new gasket because if you do and you ever have to change it again, you'll have a lot of fun scraping it off the cylinder head.
