V6 oil pressure light mystery

Hey all.
My 99 9-5 might have some serious problems...I could definitely use help.
Today, the oil pressure light flickered at idle and went back off at engine speed. Could be oil pressure sensor right?
A few notes about the problem:
1. I have had a significant amount of condensation on the underside of the oil cap. (though this could be explained by my 2 mile drives to work over the winter)
2. Oil level is full and was changed a week ago.
3. I do have some coolant leaking. When I parked the car, I checked the coolant and the reservoir had pressurized and coolant overflowed.
I know it's not sludge...I'm just afraid it's a head gasket (although that is nearly unheard of with the V6 correct)?
My brother bought this car with 4k, gave it to me at 129k and now I have 184 on the odo...it's been a champ but I'm afraid the run might be over.
