Usually can see coolant stains but depends how big the leak was/is. Remove it from car and have a good look.

Also the reason it wont run now might be different to the original reason.
First, it overheated and blew the head gasket and wouldnt run. Then with this fixed, the timing belt may have been put back wrong or the distributor put back 180 degrees out. Things to check.

Wont run after head re-done, did the leads go back on in the correct order? E-W engines in the capri F/O is 1-3-4-2, Number 1 Cyl is closest to Passenger side, Number 1 on dizzy cap is in the 3 o'clock position, and the rotor turns ANTI clockwise

can't be 180 deg out as distributor and camshaft run offset slot and only fit one way.
if anything was seriously wrong with cam timing or ignition timing it just wouldn't run, but it runs on aerostart(starting fluid). so problem is fuel delivery.

Hi there
This may be a long shot but if you look in the boot under the carpet on the left hand side rail there is a fuel cut off switch that may have been triggered going on and off the tow truck
Make sure it is pushed in as it will turn off the fuel pump if it is up
