you dont need to "fix" it, but if you want , try some of the autozone oil additive called stopleak, it will tell you on the back how it conditions valves, etc.

other than that, you have to open up the head to fix it, so its just not worth it, its not detrimental to your engine, its jsut burning off a tad of oil when you start.

if you dont fix it
1. excessive carbon buildup
2. oil fouled plugs

that "stop leak" just swells seals and gaskets and isnt good for them.
