Intake Manifold Gasket: What Else

I am getting the manifold intake gasket fixed at a dealer, I just don't have the time with 3 kids and all (excuses, excuses). Will this solve the blue smoke that comes out of the car on start up? or is that indicative of leaky valves? How much extra should I expect if I want them to take care of that too? Thanks.

Typically your valve seals are worn if blue smoke comes out on startup.

Mark.
