Yes, but so would really worn valve stems or guides. Either case, you gotta take the head(s) off, then do both! Head gasket(s) and a valve job.

If it is coolant that is leaking, it may be due to a blown head gasket or warped/cracked cylinder head. If it is fuel that is leaking, the spark plug or wires are faulty and there is not enough spark to fully ignite the fuel. If it is oil that's leaking, the valve seals or piston rings may be worn.
