Default Would it be wise to change valve cover gaskets

New to this forum and thanks for any help ahead of time..... I have a 2001 Chevy Blazer that has developed a lower intake manifold gasket leak. There is a kit that includes many different gaskets. Fel-Pro HS9354PT6. Would it be wise to change the valve cover gaskets? I have around 98,000 miles on this Blazer

If they aren't leaking, you really don't have to worry about it. If you need the peace of mind, then go ahead. It really isn't too involving once you have everything apart to replace the LIM gaskets.

If they aren't leaking I see no reason to replace them.

EDIT: Damn, Kyle beat me to it.
