Hello _
I do not believe it is your head gasket.
Engine oil leaks occur most often at the valve cover, timing chain cover and the front and rear crankshaft seals,
As an engine ages, heat can cause cork gaskets to harden and shrink. Heat can also cause rubber (neoprene) gaskets and seals to harden and lose elasticity. After six or seven years of service, the engine may start to leak oil. The older the engine, the more likely it is to leak oil due to aging gaskets and seals.
Locate the leak after fixing it, cross your finger that engine is not seized because it overheated until it died.
You should have stopped the vehicle when you noticed it was overheating depending how long you drove from that point.
