That is the sign. I take it it is losing water and overheating? Does it run smoothly/at all? Wet spark plug(s) should confirm. Check on internet forum for repair instructions to see how it's done and whether you think you should tackle it yourself?

You could try to overtorque the head bolts and add some kind of head gasket sealer? When you say valve cover leaks, what does it leak? Oil?
