Default Do i have a blown headgasket?

Here is my prob:
Ok so there are no defaults in the consistency of my oil. The engine ONLY overheats when the ac is on and i sit still for 10+ min. And there is a little oil in my coolant. So im guessing that my head gasket is leaking/verge of blowing.
Or is there a seal that less deadly to my pocket book that could have bit the dust?

oil in the coolant?!!!! not good. sounds like a head gasket to me, that's not a good sign when you see oil in the coolant ever.

do a leakdown test. it will most likely show that you are getting blow by at the headgasket.
