What do you mean by a heating problem, overheating or no heat? Oil in coolant or coolant in oil are classic headgasket problems. I would diagnose before I spent big bucks on a head gasket.
Where is the oil leaking? Look at the seam between valve cover and head, if its there, then do as Matt says. If it leaks from between the head and the block, then its the head gasket, but I would re-torque the head to see if the problem goes away. There are mixed opinions on this board on whether to re-torque and how to re-torque. I did mine by torquing the head to about 10 ft-lbs above the stage 2 torque value (I had some bolts that were loose), others recommend breaking the bolts (completely loosen) and go through the 3 stage torquing. I did mine a few months ago and the leak has not come back.
