Pull the dipstick and see if there is a whitish liquid on the stick.

Is there white smokle exiting your exhaust?

Also, You can take off your radiator cap and then try to crank the car. If it bubbles you probably have blown a gasket.

Discalimer: Not sure on above procedure. Just what I remember reading. Pretty sure it is right.
