Did I cook my engine?

Driving home today I noticed that every time I shfted (2000 9-5, manual transmission, 185k miles), the engine oil light flickered. I figured I would check it when I got home. Got to within 1/2 mile of home and car started to overheat, got it home and turned it off.
About 6 weeks ago car also overheated and when I pulled over the main hose had come off the radiator. Reattached hose and refilled with coolant and have been driving for 6 weeks without issues.
This morning I went outside to check and once again the radiator hose was disconnected....but this time there was a big puddle of oil on the ground and no oil in the engine.
Blown headgasket? Lower Seal? Is it worth fixing? (How much). I am waiting to hear from my local mechanic.
Now I am worried that when it overheated the first time I damaged the engine.
