I had my oil changed about a month ago and the other day i noticed a couple lights coming on for a little bit and some days they'd turn off. I looked in my coolant tank and its near empty and my oil is gone. Pops says it might be a head gasket leak... so is it?

More than likely it's an intake manifold gaskset leak (considering that's a common problem amongst all the guys here on the board). Either that, or someone didn't tighted the drain plugs....

Anyways, look around in the engine bay, do you see any fluids leaked onto the heads or valve covers?

It depends on how much oil to, the only way is to get it Pressure tested.
