dont change it yet. it could just be some oil got spilled and rested near the headgasket. If you did not remove the head or anything there should be no reason why that headgasket is bad. If anything do a compression and or leakdown test.

compression or leakdown wont tell you if the HG is leaking oil, that will only tell u if the coolant rings on the HG are broken, but you'd know if that was the case.
