I would start by testing the engine for damage due to overheating. Of course the leak would be a hindrance but if the leak is not too bad, you can still perform tests.
Start with a compression test followed by checking for oil in cooling system or coolant in oil. If the engine is not running smoothly, there is a possobility of engine damage.
