No, not really. A bad head gasket will allow engine coolant into the combustion chamber and oil into the radiator. A puddle could be a couple of things. Your oil pan gasket may be leaking, oil filter not correct type or not properly installed, valve cover gaskets leaking, or the worst may be possible. Your crakshaft and camshaft seals might be bad.
