Does Intake Valve gasket need replace immediately?

1998 Olds Intrique 75,000 miles - used as second car (not driven much & never in the winter). Just got an oil change after - quite some time.
Mechanic said that intake gasket leaking coolant. needs intake gasket and valve cover gasket.
The car runs good. Lots of power. no smoking or "oil burner" type smell.
The oil was low (not to the add oil mark -- but it'd been over a year and well over 5000 miles since the oil had been changed due to other circumstances.
Is there anything I can look for under the car? Would both the intake gasket & valve cover gaskets need to be changed. Can this be put off?
