Do I have a blown head gasket

OK so I had a hole in my radiator and my system would pressurize forcing the fluid out and my car would overheat. I have d1ae heads so no aluminum cracking issues. I filled up the overflow container (or whichever has the pressure cap with water I started the cat up to take it for a quick run to the store recently.) there was what looked like smokey steam coming from around the valve covers. The gauge was normal then when I stopped at the gas station thecar was steamy smoking got near home about 4 miles round trip and there was steam like the engine was overheating so I coasted into the garage oped the decklid and shuter' down.
So, is there an easy way to see if I 've blown a head gasket or warped my heads or if My cooling system is just crap? I run the fans all the time.
I hope its minor and solve able because I have a brand new fluidyne that I can drop in.
I'm in San Ramon In the Bay Area are there any pantera guys more local than say Mike Drew that can help me with assorted issues? That guy in danville with the GT5? Thanks
