Andy - It is possible you did some damage to your engine. Did your engine sound any different when you inspected the car? When a car overheats to this extent, it is likely because the waterpump failed or the thermostat failed closed. Check your oil for possible coolant contamination. This would indicate a warped head or blown head gasket. You should also get ahold of a coolant system pressure tester. This will help you locate the leak. It won't tell you anything about the waterpump or the thermostat. You can check the thermostat by removing it and dropping it into a pan of boiling water to see if it opens when it gets hot. About the only way to check the pump is to determine if the belt is still tight and that the pulley is still turning. Remove the belt and try to spin the pulley. If it moves freely, your pump is probably OK.
