Valve/rocker gaskets if leak can effect start and idle at first?

i have leaky valve gaskets. now my engine runs kinda poor at first btu once at operating temperature its better. not great but i can deal with it.


Would these faulty gaskets have a major effect on the PCV system to the point it would effect how the car runs?

like sputtering and hesitation in 1 gear and reverse on my v8 automatic?
