Default blown headgasket/motor? how do i fix this?

well like wut the title say's i'm not sure! here is wha'ts wrong with my car before it started to not start.

1.) overheating
2.) little oil leaking from behind the engine somewhere

i then changed my oil, themostat, & the radiator is good with new coolant, so i don't know what's goin on. and also it's been sitting there for like almost 2month's & the oil is like a light chocolate milk color, any idea's on wha'ts goin on guy's?

*****revised*****
is it hard to change the headgasket? do i have to put the camshaft in TDC first, or it doesn't matter because i'm just going to take the whole thing apart?

Is your coolant level going down? Have you noticed white smoke from the exhaust? Sounds like a borked headgasket.
