A very small crack may not contaminate the oil (Milky/brownish color) enough to be readily seen.
Some condensation (water not coolant),especially in this cold weather, from the tailpipe is to be expected. Compression testers are not very expensive and better yet do you have a friend who has one?

I believe your best bet for checking for a blown headgasket would be a compression test.

A quick glance at my Hayne's manual tells me that it's not really more difficult, just more work to do. In addition to what you had to do for the water pump, you're also going to need to remove that alternator, a/c compressor & bracket, and idler pulley. It also says that the front two oil pan bolts thread into the timing chain cover so you'll need to remove those, and that it may make the job easier to just go ahead and remove the oil pan altogether. Sounds like a good excuse to take care of your next oil change.
So, nothing terribly complicated, just lots and lots of wrench turning. Shouldn't be too bad as long as you have a warm place to work.
