Disk Utility Says there is something wrong.

Try disk warrior / techtool pro or whatever disk tools you have. I got that error once right before a HD failed, but I had lots of problems, not just that. Do you have any other disk repair utilities?
Edit: actually, I don't think disk warrior supports GUID so....

Back up your important data ASAP.
Boot from your installer DVD and run Disk Utilty and try to repair the drive.
If that fails:
You need to purchase a bit of stronger medication along the lines of Disk Wairror or Tech Tool Pro and use one of them to attempt to repair your issue.
If THOSE fail.
You might have to erase the disk and restore from backup.

Odd that fsck succeeded where Disk Utility failed (they are pretty much the same animal). Glad you got it sorted (cheaply!)!
Ah true.. I knew that the failure was simply a failure on the verification.
Of course, I had mentioned this course of action:
Which would have yielded similar results. e.g., a fix.
It's fixed, anyway.

What do I do if this happens about once a week for about a month?
I've fixed it everytime so that after a rescan disk utility says it's fine.
This is on my Macbook. Should I get a replacement hard drive if this keeps happening?

Disk Utility Says that "Volume header 2,3 (or 2,10 I can't remember exactly what) needs minor repair"
Usually I check it shortly after safari randomly quits (which has been once a week for the past month) and that is what it says.
After Fsck it's fine for about another week.

Yes, I'd erase and reinstall, too. I had copied and recopied some important files on a new PB hard drive last year and actually created some sort of file corruption on my hard drive. Gave me that same message. When I sold the machine, erased and reinstalled, it was fine again.
Or you could run a commercial disk repair application such as Disk Warrior and skip the erase and install. Whatever floats your boat.
