Default Busted seal?

My 2001 Honda Accord 4cyl overheated. Turns out, it was just a hole in the hose. Stopped and people helped, but they noticed the oil was a little low and overfilled the oil without me knowing. Now there is coolant in the oil and bubbly sounds coming from the engine when the car is off. Sound like a busted head or a busted seal?

Rent out a block tester at oreillys. Check to see if they have it in stock, also you can rent out the block tester fluid (maybe) if they have that in stock as well. I would do an oil change as well if you don't know the levels.
How long was the car over heated? Did you shut it down immediately? I really hope it is not a bad head gasket.

I'm assuming they helped you fix the rubber hose and refilled the coolant?
