is it from the base of the stem or from the valve? if it's in the valve itself and you have access
to a good air pressure source (compressor or tank) then you can actually change the valves. Might be worth it to you to avoid a trip to the tire shop if it's the valve itself.
You'll need a valve removal tool but they are cheap.

Yep you're looking for a "valve stem tool"

Maybe one like this - the far end has a square notch in it that allows you to screw in/out the valve core. The threaded parts are for repairing the inner and outer threads of the valve stem.
Or this one just puts them in or takes the cores out.

Just get a new valve stem. I think that they can be replaced w/o removing the tire.
Any service station that changes tires will have a valve stem tool just for this. It shouldn't be more than $5 or $10 and 5 minutes of your time.
