Oh dear that does not sound good.
Have you found:
signs of oil in the water tank?
white/yellow gunk underneath the oil cap?
white/yellow gunk on the dip stick?
do you have less power than you used to?

As what Haydn said, just to add remove the cap off the expansion tank and have a wiff in there. Does it smell strongly of fuel?

most local garages can do i leakage/headgasket test for you to see if its gone and i doubt they'll charge you as i doesnt take 5 mins.
