Leave car to cool for at least a couple of hours after last run. Remove sparkplugs, ensuring that any fluid (oil/rainwater etc) around them is removed first.
Shine small bright torch down the holes, looking at piston crowns. If all bone dry, unlikely to have a HG problem. If there is wetness on any, sample with a bit of white tissue/rag (robustly) attached to suitable chopstick-type 'probe'.
If this yields wet stuff that looks/smells/tastes like coolant, then you very likely do have a HG problem.
Hope you see bone-dryness! :)
