If the ONLY problem is a small oil leak, it can wait. However, be certain there is NO coolant in oil, exhaust gas in cooling system, or coolant in the exhaust system. The presence of any of these would need to be fixed quickly as you could end up with engine damage. Also check to be sure compression readings are OK.
Just did mine a couple weeks ago. I also had a slight vibration under acceleration that was corrected when I did the head gasket. The vibration had been present for a few thousand miles and I had assumed it was the inner driver starting to show wear at 150,000. Since the vibration is gone, I'm assuming there the No. 1 cylinder (where the gasket was bad) was not firing equally with 2,3, and 4.
