Re: head gasket?

1st thing is make sure it has enough oil in it, then make sure it still looks like oil. Low oil pressure usually isn't caused by a blown head gasket, ususally means your bearings are loose, oil pump is worn out, oil pickup is partially blocked, or your oil pan is caved in, or any combination of these.

A real oil pressure gauge and a visual inspection.
